New Era of AGN Science with the Vera C. Rubin LSST
National Radio Astronomy Observatory in Charlottesville VA, USA
The goal of this meeting is to bring early career scientists (students and postdocs) and senior members of the LSST AGN Science Collaboration together, discuss the recent developments, and foster future collaborative projects. For active discussion and engagement, the format of the meeting is in-person but there will be a zoom connection available for remote participants.

Overview
Overview
The Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), to be conducted by the Vera C. Rubin Observatory beginning in 2023, will enable studies of the growing supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) on a truly massive scale. This workshop will enable the LSST AGN Science Collaboration (AGN SC) to (1) continue building up the effort of AGN SC to prepare for the LSST operations in 2024 and (2) broaden the participants and interests from the early career scientists by introducing the LSST AGN SC and having an interactive discussion on various aspects of AGN science in the LSST era.
Topics
Topics
AGN SC update
Science presentation
Discussion of the AGN SC roadmap and Initiation of the collaborative projects
Introduction to the radio facilities for LSST AGN science
Theoretical models of black hole accretion disk
Venue
Venue
National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) is the world's premier astronomical radio observatory and its Charlottesville headquarter (on the grounds of the University of Virginia) hosts the North American ALMA Science Center (NAASC). The ALMA (Atacama Large Millimeter/sub-millimeter Array) has strong scientific synergy with the LSST AGN science in terms of following up on many important new discoveries in the NIR photometric domain, using FIR line and continuum observation to study the gas and dust associated with AGN activity and SMBH physics.
