title = "The Vera C. Rubin Observatory 8.4m telescope calibration system status",
abstract = "The Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) will perform precision photometry of resolved and unresolved objects over the visible sky at a 3-day cadence using an 8.4-meter diameter telescope that forms an image of the sky on a 3.2 Gigapixel focal plane array. Meeting and exceeding the photometric precision requirements is a significant challenge and necessitates the calibration and correction of multiple forms of systematic error. This paper describes multiple novel hardware systems that Rubin is developing to measure and compensate for numerous sources of systematic errors, particularly errors impacting photometry measurements.",
