The 2024 State of the LSST AGN Science Collaboration and Its European Connections
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The LSST Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) Science Collaboration (SC), currently composed of 190 members spanning the globe (with more than 50 Europeans), aims to lead many of the large-scale LSST investigations of growing supermassive black holes in AGNs. I will briefly summarize the membership and organization of the AGN SC, including its four ongoing European in-kind projects. I will then highlight its recent and ongoing activities, including contributing to survey cadence optimization, gathering and analyzing preparatory data sets (e.g., in the Deep-Drilling Fields), forecasting science results with simulations, serving on key working groups and committees, and performing outreach to the scientific community and general public. I will finally discuss future plans and describe how interested members of the European and worldwide astronomical community can become involved.
