We are getting pretty far outside my area of expertise / knowledge on this topic here, but I know I and others agree with you here. There is a Rubin Observatory data access policy out there. Don't quote me on the exact specifics but I believe that most colleges and research institutions already have a mechanism to enable data access setup, or can get one. This is mostly an id auth type thing to make sure those accessing have data rights. There is a policy where people not associated with those can request access too, but I am not sure the procedure and would not be qualified to weigh in on anything more specific.

Curious what were your thoughts about this story when it broke: https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2024/12/vera-rubin-telescope-spy-satellite/680814/ https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2024/12/vera-rub... And whether it impacts your work? For example, if the unnamed agencies' efforts leave a telltale mark in areas they change, that would still be problematic, so presumably they have to place noise corresponding to adjacent pixels. Are you concerned about how data integrity affects your work output? Penny to understand the internal scuttlebut / any internal grousings about this.
