The observatory is named for Vera Rubin, an American astronomer who pioneered discoveries about galactic rotation rates. The Rubin Observatory will house the Simonyi Survey Telescope, [14] a wide-field reflecting telescope with an 8.4-meter primary mirror [9] [10] that will photograph the entire available sky every few nights.

Vera Florence Cooper Rubin (/ ˈ r uː b ɪ n /; July 23, 1928 – December 25, 2016) was an American astronomer who pioneered work on galaxy rotation rates. [1] [2] She uncovered the discrepancy between the predicted and observed angular motion of galaxies by studying galactic rotation curves.
In an important paper co-authored with astronomer Vera Rubin in 1970, [6] and a follow-up paper in 1980, [7] Rubin and Ford established that the orbits of stars around the center of galaxies (the "galaxy rotation curve") does not decrease with distance from the galactic center, as expected from Kepler's rotation law, but remains constant (or "flat") with distance.
Robert Joshua Rubin (/ ˈ r uː b ɪ n /; August 17, 1926 – January 18, 2008) [1] was an American mathematician whose work involved modelling complex physical systems. [2] He worked principally at the National Bureau of Standards, and was a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and also a Fellow of the American Physical Society.
