Abstract
Vera C. Rubin Observatory will be a key facility for small body science in planetary astronomy over the next decade. It will carry out the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), observing the sky repeatedly in u, g, r, i, z, and y over the course of ten years using a 6.5 m effective diameter telescope with a 9.6 square degree field of view, reaching approximately r = 24.5 mag (5-{\sigma} depth) per visit. The resulting dataset will provide extraordinary opportunities for both discovery and characterization of large numbers (10--100 times more than currently known) of small solar system bodies, furthering studies of planetary formation and evolution. This white paper summarizes some of the expected science from the ten years of LSST, and emphasizes that the planetary astronomy community should remain invested in the path of Rubin Observatory once the LSST is complete.
Vera C. Rubin天文台将成为未来十年行星天文学小天体科学的关键设施。它将执行时空遗留调查(LSST),在10年的时间里,使用6.5米有效直径、9.6平方度视场的望远镜,在u、g、r、i、z和y上重复观测天空,每次访问的深度约为r = 24.5等(5-{\sigma}深度)。由此产生的数据集将为发现和描述大量(比目前已知的多10- 100倍)太阳系小天体提供非凡的机会,进一步研究行星的形成和演化。本白皮书总结了LSST十年来的一些预期科学成果,并强调一旦LSST完成,行星天文学界应该继续投资鲁宾天文台的路径。
