The LBT Science Data Center
About LSC
Established in January 2007, the LBT Science Data Center (LSC) has been continuously maintained and updated to support the Italian community in exploiting data from the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT). The center assists observing teams in planning and scheduling observations, while providing PIs with access to reduced, science-ready data for their research publications.
The LBT Observing Tools consist of a suite designed for observation planning. For every program, target observability is calculated and shared with observers to facilitate scheduling. While Observers have access to all proposals and runs, PIs are restricted to viewing their own.
Managed at the INAF Observatory of Rome, the LSC service provides imaging reduction for LBC, LUCI, and MODS. These data, along with spectra reduced by IASF-Milano until 2020, are hosted in the LSC archive. PIs can access the restricted area to browse all records and retrieve their own data. For more information, please refer to the data policy.
The Proposal Evaluation Tool is a dedicated web interface used by TAC-appointed referees to review LBT proposals. The evaluation process is strictly anonymous to prevent any bias. Through a secure area, scientists assess the scientific quality of each proposal and provide a corresponding score.
