Título:Helping You Do Science with the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope

Descrição:The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) will create the largest census of the Universe ever undertaken, repeatedly surveying the sky every few nights for ten years. The potential for scientific discoveries with the LSST will be limited only by how well we can extract the knowledge contained in its massive and complex data streams. The mandate of the Large Synoptic Survey Corporation (LSSTC) is to maximize the scientific output from LSST with investment in the international research community. Indeed, as first light and full operations approach, LSSTC is ramping up its support for LSST science. I will review highlights from a year of activities we have funded, and describe our very ambitious plans for helping the community tackle the scientific, software, and statistical challenges associated with LSST during the next few years. You can directly benefit from these programs, with researchers from LSSTC member institutions guiding how funds are allocated and receiving the highest level of benefits.

Título:Kubernetes as an Astronomical platform, a technical review

Descrição:In this talk, I will review the basic concepts of Kubernetes and how these are being applied within the context of Astronomy. In particular, Kubernetes has been already adopted by surveys like DES and LSST and is slowly making its way into other projects. I will do a live demo of a simple deployment and how this can be expanded into a full production-like system.

Título:Detectores de partículas para estudos de Eventos Solares Transientes

Descrição:Os raios cósmicos são partículas de altas energias que atingem a atmosfera da Terra a todo instante. Essas partículas possuem diversas origens, como o Sol ou o exterior do nosso sistema solar. Detectores de partículas ao nível do solo são utilizados para estudar os raios cósmicos e suas fontes. Entretanto, o que é observado ao nível do solo é a componente secundária dos raios cósmicos. Neste seminário pretendo discutir como o monitoramento do fluxo de raios cósmicos secundários na atmosfera da Terra pode ser utilizado juntamente com índices geomagnéticos para estudos relacionados à física solar e clima espacial.

Título:DESI: unraveling dark energy

Descrição:I will present the stage-IV Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI). The scientific goals of DESI on dark energy, redshift space distortions, inflation and neutrino mass will be compared to current measurements and limits set by ongoing experiments, in particular by the SDSS BOSS and eBOSS projects. I will then present the construction status of DESI, which is nearing completion, and give the timeline of the five-year survey. With first light quickly approaching, we expect DESI to be one of the world’s best facilities for wide-field spectroscopy throughout the decade.
