See below for some highlights of SMWLV activity:
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time has unparalleled capabilities to study nearby ultracool dwarfs, very-low-mass stars, and brown dwarfs. This workshop is meant to revitalize the Solar Neighbor Working Group as we approach First Light for the Observatory.
The star clusters science working group is working on a photometric star cluster classification tool. See the Star Clusters SWG page for more.
The SCOC met on January 19, 2024 to discuss plans from the strategy task forces. See more at this link.
Discussion includes: In-kind contributions summary (W. Clarkson), Microlensing strategy and science (N. Abrams), DECam Bulge photometry and calibration as a pathway to Rubin-LSST (A. Saha), The Blanco DECam Bulge Survey (W. Clarkson), Rubin-LSST pipeline and crowded fields (I. Sullivan), The SCARLET deblender (F. Moolekamp), Commissioning and crowded stellar fields (K. Bechtol)
