2008 LSST All-Hands Meeting

May 19-23, 2008
National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA)
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
1205 W. Clark St.
Urbana, Illinois

The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) is a proposed ground-based 8.4-meter, 10 square-degree-field telescope that will provide digital imaging of faint astronomical objects across the entire sky, night after night. In a relentless campaign of 15 second exposures, LSST will cover the available sky every three nights, opening a movie-like window on objects that change or move on rapid timescales: exploding supernovae, potentially hazardous near-Earth asteroids, and distant Kuiper Belt Objects.

The LSST All-Hands Meeting will gather project team members representing all phases and components of the LSST project—from the telescope's physical construction to the supercomputer analysis of the resulting images—to learn about the current state of the project and to help shape its future.
