LSST Data Preview 0 Documentation

Data Preview 0 (DP0) is the first of three data previews during the period leading up to the start of Rubin Observatory Operations.

Goals of DP0: To serve as an early integration test of the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) Science Pipelines and the Rubin Science Platform (RSP) and to enable a limited number of scientists and students to begin early preparations for science with simulated LSST-like data sets.

DP0 users: The scientists and students who have RSP accounts and access to the DP0 data sets.
