Vera C. Rubin Observatory

Vera C. Rubin Observatory is an astronomy facility located on Cerro Pachón in Chile. It is jointly funded by the US National Science Foundation and the Department of Energy Office of Science. The facility uses the 8.4-metre Simonyi Survey Telescope together with the LSST Camera. Its design is intended for a repeated, wide-field survey of the southern sky and for time-domain astronomy. Its identity is therefore defined by its Chilean site, its specified telescope and camera, and a survey purpose focused on the southern sky. The supplied information does not state construction or start dates, scientific results, quantified survey coverage, operational status, or further capabilities. Accordingly, this profile is limited to the stated location, funding, instrumentation, and survey purpose, without making claims beyond those details.
