Early science” is defined as any science enabled by Rubin for its community prior to the first annual data release, Data Release 1 (DR1), of the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). The details regarding the data products, services, and timelines can be found in Rubin Tech Note 11 (rtn-011.lsst.io), which was recently updated in Apr 2026. This session is designed as a community Q&A, to help scientists and students understand the scope and timeline of the early science program, and how to make best use of it for their own science goals.
