Abstract: The Vera C. Rubin Observatory’s Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) will constrain our models of the universe through observations of galaxies and galaxy clusters as well as transients such as supernovae and strongly lensed quasars. We analyze simulated LSST data using the Dark Energy Science Collaboration cosmology pipeline to obtain forecasts for cosmological parameters. We also explore how various systematic sources of uncertainty affect our predicted cosmological constraints.
