Narayan Khadka: SLSim – Simulating a Strongly Lensed Universe

The Strong Lensing Simulation (SLSim) pipeline generates realistic simulations of strong lensing systems, including galaxy-galaxy lenses, lensed transients, and cluster-scale lenses, tailored for Rubin and adaptable to Roman. It produces population-level catalogs, realistic images, and time-series imaging for transients, supporting lens finding challenges, observational preparations, and cosmological analysis. I will also discuss ongoing efforts to prepare for strong lensing science with LSST, building on these capabilities.
