Sorcha: A Solar System Survey Simulator for the Legacy Survey of Space and Time

The upcoming Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) at the Vera C. Rubin Observatory is expected to revolutionize solar system astronomy. Unprecedented in scale, this 10 yr wide-field survey will collect billions of observations and discover a predicted ∼5 million new solar system objects. Like all...
