Hello, are there any LSST-like mock images available for the collaboration? I am particularly interested in galaxies showing low–surface-brightness features

Dear @RubetMariana , thank you for your question. If you have LSST Data Rights, have you tried the extragalactic [DP0.2 simulations](https://dp0-2.lsst.io/index.html) available via the Rubin Science Platform ([rsp.lsst.io](http://rsp.lsst.io) has steps to get an account if you have LSST data rights)? The DP0.2 simulations are based on the DC2 simulations provided by the LSST Dark Energy Science collaboration:

- [[2010.05926] The LSST DESC DC2 Simulated Sky Survey](https://arxiv.org/abs/2010.05926)
- [LSSTDESC Data Portal -](https://data.lsstdesc.org/doc/dc2_sim_sky_survey)

Please let us know if this is helpful to you, or if you are looking for something else.
