Title: Weak Lensing & Galaxy Clustering With The Rubin Observatory

Abstract:
The Legacy Survey of Space & Time (LSST) is the 10-year survey planned for the Rubin Observatory, with first light probable in 2023.  Among a wide range of science cases, LSST will provide the the most powerful weak lensing and galaxy clustering catalog to date, with enormous potential constraining power for dark energy and cosmic structure models.  I'll discuss our plans for two-point analysis with this sample, and in particular a challenge we ran to improve how we determine the best tomographic bin for a galaxy as discussed in https://arxiv.org/abs/2108.13418.pdf .
