The Center for AstroPhysical Surveys (CAPS) is a research unit, housed within the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA), dedicated to conducting, building, and analyzing data from astrophysical surveys.
 
The center is involved in several surveys, including the Dark Energy Survey (DES), producing the most extensive and accurate dark matter map, and the Vera C. Rubin Observatory’s (VRO) Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), the South Pole Telescope (SPT), and CMB-S4.
