Description
The Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) is expected to produce image coadds reaching nearly 30 magnitudes per square arcsecond across the entire Southern sky. Low-surface-brightness (LSB) science thus provides the survey's largest potential discovery space, as such depths have never been achieved in a survey of its size before. Whether we can fully exploit the survey for LSB science, however, hinges on how the images are processed through the data reduction pipeline. From altering the sky-subtraction algorithm to avoid over-modelling of LSB flux, to removing the wings of bright stars from images, to accurate identification and characterization of reflection "ghosts" across the field of view, many are working toward the creation of such a pipeline in the hopes of achieving this unprecedented survey's full scientific potential. I provide a brief summary of these efforts, including current progress and ideas for future advancement.
