Speaker
Description
In this talk I will discuss the planned daily public release of monitored source light curves and transient alerts from the (Advanced) Simons Observatory provided by daily survey-scale observations in the millimeter. The scan strategy for the Large Aperture Telescope (LAT) is designed to cover a high fraction of the survey volume once every few days, providing excellent coverage of (time-varying) sources alongside the CMB study. In addition to long-term results from (e.g.) k- and t-SZ views on clusters, the LAT’s high sensitivity and large survey area mean it is primed to provide daily updates on the fluxes of both known and unknown sources. In this talk, I will describe both our survey estimates (O~10’000 objects visible daily, with O~100’000 available with weekly and monthly co-adds of data) and the open-source technical infrastructure (databases, APIs, and our overarching pipeline) that we are building to provide target photon-to-public catalog times of 30 hours. I will discuss our open data policies, strategy, and formats, including lightcurves for AGN, flaring stars, and asteroids, which will be made available immediately after data processing. I will provide a (rough) timeline for data availability, with our expectation that daily light-curves should be available in open beta by early 2027.
