PSF-like Alpha-Particle Events in LSST Images
Announce Type: cross Abstract: Rare $\alpha$-particle-induced charge clusters appear in LSST images as compact, PSF-like sources with a median FWHM of $0.\!\!^{\prime\prime}95$ and median ellipticity consistent with zero, closely resembling unresolved astrophysical point sources. These events are detected in both dark and science exposures at a rate of approximately $10^{-12}\ \mathrm{pixel}^{-1}\ \mathrm{s}^{-1}$. Their collected charge and morphology are consistent with energy deposition...
Prospects for Astrobiology and Technosignature Searches with the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time
arXiv:2606.00574v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) will map sources in multiband colour--variability space. We present a prototype coherence-based framework for astrobiology and technosignature searches, in which candidates are treated as structured departures from natural astrophysical manifolds rather than isolated photometric outliers. We illustrate the framework with three simulated cases: five Kuiper Belt Object (KBO)...
