Getting ready for the LSST data -- estimating the physical properties of $z<2.5$ main sequence galaxies

In this work we study how to employ the upcoming Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) data to constrain physical properties of normal, star forming galaxies. We use simulated LSST data and existing real observations to test the estimations of the physical properties of galaxies, such as star formation rate (SFR), stellar mass ($M_{star}$), and dust luminosity ($L_{dust}$). We focus on normal star-forming galaxies, as they form the majority of the galaxy population in the universe and therefore are more likely to be observed by the LSST. We perform a simulation of LSST observations and uncertainties of 50,385 real galaxies within redshift range $0
