Data Rights#
Under the Rubin LSST In-kind Contribution Program, participating international programs (outside the US and Chile) each earn, for a specified number of Principal Investigators (PIs) and Junior Associates (JAs), the right to access LSST data during its 2-year proprietary period, in return for making a set of in-kind contributions that expand the resources available to the US astronomy and HEP communities.
For more details on the definition of LSST data rights, the distinction between PIs and JAs, and so on, please see the Rubin Data Policy, document RDO-13.
See the Programs page (add link) for the current list of in-kind programs and the contributions they are making.
The current list of LSST Data Rights Holders (DRHs) and their PI/JA status is maintained by Rubin and visible on its own page at https://www.lsst.org/scientists/international-drh-list. (Replace link)
International Data Rights Holders#
Below is a view of the current, live, international data rights holder database.
This list comprises all scientists who have provisional data rights because of their affiliation with an international in-kind contribution program. A program’s LSST data rights will be finalized upon execution of its associated data rights agreement. This list will be refreshed annually: we’ll be in touch with each international in-kind program’s Program Manager to get those updates.
