The Rubin's Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) is expected to observe the night sky during 10 years and retrieve information from 37 billion stars and galaxies, and up to 10 million of transient alerts producing over 20 TB of data a night. With this unprecedented level of statistics, LSST will face some analysis challenges. We will give an overview of the experiment, science...
Galaxy mergers can be used to probe galaxy evolution and to test cosmological models. Traditional high-redshift merger detection techniques, however, are resource-intensive. For instance, manual detection is both time-consuming and susceptible to human bias, while automated approaches require high-quality, space-based observations to obtain parameters such as the Sérsic index, Gini coefficient...
