Systematic effects of LEOsats in Rubin Observatory LSST camera
Abstract Rubin observatory, and survey astronomy in general, will be greatly impacted by the proliferation of low Earth orbit satellite (LEOSat) constellations. Its large field of view guarantees that Rubin will observe satellite streaks in approximately every image passing through an average of 13 out of the camera’s 189 CCD detectors. The impact of satellites on our science scales with the number of satellites launched, and with satellite brightness.
