This technique reports an estimate of the Rubin SST telescope’s effective area. This figure of merit accounts for the measured reflectance of the telescope mirrors and the transmission profiles of the LSSTCam optics. In addition, it accounts for the detector quantum efficiency and the pupil obstruction factors coming from the telescope mechanics.
The file effective_area_optics_TEA_cad_avg.txt contains the tabulated values of the estimated Rubin effective area reported in the technote.

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.
