[ASA] Australian LSST Workshop: 14 Dec 2020

[Stuart Ryder]

Dear colleagues,

  2020 has been a pivotal year for the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/tOyECvl1rKi5R3vLtQcL31?domain=lsst.org>), to be carried out by the Vera C. Rubin Observatory. A virtual half-day workshop is to be held on Monday 14 Dec (starting at noon AEDT = 9am AWST) at which Australian Science Lead for the LSST, Prof. Sarah Brough will update the community on the in-kind proposal process underway to secure data access rights for at least 35 Australian PIs (and up to 4 Junior Researchers each). Following that will be short presentations about work that Australian researchers and their groups are currently involved in that relate to the LSST, the various LSST Science Collaborations<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/n2TMCwV1vMfm2WoVHqsDPb?domain=lsst.org>, or that in some way will help add value to our LSST engagement.
