| 5 | + LSST images will be contaminated with transient artifacts, such as optical |
| 6 | + ghosts, satellite trails, and cosmic rays, and with transient astronomical |
| 7 | + sources, such as asteroid ephemerides. We developed and tested an algorithm |
| 8 | + to find and reject these artifacts during coaddition, in order to produce |
| 9 | + clean coadds to be used for deep detection and preliminary object |
| 10 | + characterization. This algorithm, CompareWarpAssembleCoadd, uses the time- |
| 11 | + series of PSF-matched warped images to identify transient artifacts. It |
| 12 | + detects artifact candidates on the image differences between each PSF-matched |
| 13 | + warp and a static sky model. These artifact candidates include both true |
| 14 | + transient artifacts and difference-image false positives such as difficult- |
| 15 | + subtract-sources and variable sources such as stars and quasars. We use the |
| 16 | + feature that true transients appear at a given position in the difference |
| 17 | + images in only a small fraction (configurable) of visits, whereas variable |
| 18 | + sources and difficult-to-subtract sources appear in most difference images. In |
| 19 | + this report, we present a description of the method and an evaluation using |
| 20 | + Hyper SuprimeCam PDR1 data. |
