DSFP Session 24: Tiling, Stacking, and Difference Imaging

The LSST Discovery Alliance Data Science Fellowship Program is an innovative training program for Astronomy graduate students to prepare them for data intensive science with the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time. In this lecture, Dr. Erin Kado-Fong, YCAA prize fellow at the Yale Center for Astronomy and Astrophysics and Kavli fellow at the Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology at Stanford, introduces Tiling, Stacking, and Difference Imaging. This lecture was part of Session 24: Image Processing for Wide Field Astronomical Surveys hosted by the Adler Planetarium in Chicago, Illinois, United States.
