The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

The LSST system is capable of imaging about 10,000 square degrees of sky in a single filter in three nights. The typical 5 sigma point-source depth in a single visit in r will be ~24.5 (AB). The survey will yield a coadded map to r~27.5.

C2weakest assumption

The design assumes that the 8.4m telescope, 3.2 gigapixel camera, and site conditions at Cerro Pachon will deliver the stated image quality, depth, and operational efficiency starting in 2022.

C3one line summary

LSST will image 18,000 square degrees of sky about 800 times across six bands over 10 years to a coadded depth of r~27.5, producing a public database of 40 billion objects and 32 trillion observations.
