The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science will support Rubin Observatory in its operations phase to carry out the Legacy Survey of Space and Time. They will also provide support for scientific research with the data. During operations, NSF funding is managed by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA) under a cooperative agreement with NSF, and DOE funding is managed by SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (SLAC), under contract by DOE. Rubin Observatory is operated by NSF NOIRLab and SLAC.

NSF is an independent federal agency created by Congress in 1950 to promote the progress of science. NSF supports basic research and people to create knowledge that transforms the future.

The DOE Office of Science is the single largest supporter of basic research in the physical sciences in the United States and is working to address some of the most pressing challenges of our time.

    Inclusion criteria

    A description of the criteria and DOI by which papers are included in the above lists are detailed in the Rubin Tech Note "Curated SciX Libraries" (RTN-113).

    Note that for new preprints it can take some time for the SciX system to integrate the references. Preprints that do cite the DOI used for the citation lists above, but still have "References" greyed-out on their SciX page, will not yet appear in the lists.

    Visit citations.lsst.io for information about the Rubin DOI and papers.
