Since the watershed discovery of an electromagnetic counterpart to the LIGO gravitational wave source GW170817, multi-messenger astrophysics has emerged as a major area of strategic focus for the NSF. Rubin Observatory’s depth, survey speed, and data management systems will make it a key asset in the search for EM counterparts. Exploiting this capability in the first year of Rubin operations (GW observing run O4) may require special actions, however. We discuss potential approaches to data access, template building, and special data processing.

A table of the technote's acronyms and their definitions are maintained in the acronyms.tex file, which is committed as part of this repository.
To update the acronyms table in acronyms.tex:
make acronyms.tex
Note: this command requires that this repository was cloned as a submodule.
The acronyms discovery code scans the LaTeX source for probable acronyms. You can ensure that certain strings aren't treated as acronyms by adding them to the skipacronyms.txt file.
The lsst-texmf repository centrally maintains definitions for LSST acronyms. You can also add new acronym definitions, or override the definitions of acronyms, by editing the myacronyms.txt file.
lsst-texmf includes BibTeX files, the lsstdoc class file, and acronym definitions, among other essential tooling for LSST's LaTeX documentation projects.
To update to a newer version of lsst-texmf, you can update the submodule in this repository:
git submodule update --init --recursive
Commit, then push, the updated submodule.
