Description

The study of Young Stellar Objects (YSOs) and their variability (related to e.g. accretion, flares, rotation …) is one of the scientific topics that will take advantage of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) in the context of the Transients and Variable Stars (TVS) Science Collaboration (SC). In order to support a more inclusive participation to Rubin LSST activities, we aim to create a catalogue of publicly available interactive 3D graphics and 3D printed kits based on the modeling and interpretation of a number of physical processes causing photometric variability in YSOs that we plan to investigate with future Rubin LSST data. This action is in line with the Justice, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (JEDI) group of the TVS SC, and will help to disseminate some of our results, and to adequately present Rubin/TVS science to visually impaired researchers and members of the community at large. Here we present the project and the first models of our catalogue.
