| Summary:
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory recently released Data Preview 1 (DP1) in
advance of the upcoming Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), which will
enable boundless discoveries in time-domain astronomy over the next ten years.
DP1 provides an ideal sandbox for validating innovative data analysis
approaches for the LSST mission, whose scale challenges established software
infrastructure paradigms. This note presents a pair of such pipelines for
variability-finding using powerful software infrastructure suited to LSST data,
namely the HATS (Hierarchical Adaptive Tiling Scheme) format and the LSDB
framework, developed by the LSST Interdisciplinary Network for Collaboration
and Computing (LINCC) Frameworks team. This article presents a pair of
variability-finding pipelines built on LSDB, the HATS catalog of DP1 data, and
preliminary results of detected variable objects, two of which are novel
discoveries.
