Exploring the Cosmos with the Vera Rubin Observatory

The standard model of cosmology postulates ingredients that are not present in the standard model of particle physics – dark matter, dark energy, and a primordial origin for cosmic structure. Their physical nature remains a mystery. In the past few years, it has become clear that formidable modelling and data analysis challenges stand in the way of establishing how these ingredients fit into fundamental physics. Starting in 2023, we have an opportunity to uncover the physical underpinning of the cosmological model, using a new window on the universe opened by the Vera C. Rubin Observatory’s Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). Just in its first year, LSST will see more of the universe…
