abstract
The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) is an ambitious astronomical survey with a similarly ambitious Data Management component. Data Management for LSST includes processing on both nightly and yearly cadences to generate transient alerts, deep catalogs of the static sky, and forced photometry light-curves for billions of objects at hundreds of epochs, spanning at least a decade. The algorithms running in these pipelines are individually sophisticated and interact in subtle ways. This paper provides an overview of those pipelines, focusing more on those interactions than the details of any individual algorithm.

A newly detected stellar substructure beyond 30 kpc in the Milky Way halo matches simulated LMC tidal debris only under the second-passage orbital model.
ASTERIS, a self-supervised spatiotemporal denoising algorithm, improves astronomical detection limits by 1 magnitude at 90% completeness while identifying three times more redshift >9 galaxy candidates in JWST images.
Weak-lensing calibration of 19 Planck SZ clusters with HSC Year 3 yields 1-b = 0.73^{+0.10}_{-0.11} at z_eff ~0.24 after forward-modeling selection, Eddington bias, and miscentering.
Non-detection of kilonova from S250206dm excludes AT 2017gfo-like events and disfavors NS-BH mergers with mass ratio Q >= 3.2, reaching GW-comparable precision on the mass gap candidate.
Weak-lensing analysis of Abell 85 resolves three substructures and finds a ~2:1 mass ratio between the main cluster and southern subcluster, indicating a major ongoing merger.
In-situ measurements confirm ~2% reflectance for LSSTCam optics and simulations show optical ghosts impact ~0.57% of the focal plane averaged across bands.

Illuminating the Mass Gap Through Deep Optical Constraint on a Neutron Star Merger Candidate S250206dm
Non-detection of kilonova from S250206dm excludes AT 2017gfo-like events and disfavors NS-BH mergers with mass ratio Q >= 3.2, reaching GW-comparable precision on the mass gap candidate.
