The Vera Rubin Observatory (VRO) will be fully operational for a ten-year survey commencing in 2025. It is expected to detect many new objects, particularly in the outer Solar System, which are too faint and distant to have been observed by previous surveys. Among the most exciting prospects for discovery are interstellar objects and distant objects beyond Neptune. We will utilize various techniques, combined with the available facilities in Chile, to conduct comprehensive follow-up studies of newly detected objects by the LSST survey.
