Strongly lensed SNe Ia in the era of LSST: observing cadence for lens discoveries and time-delay measurements

S. Huber, S. H. Suyu, U. M. Noebauer +10

The upcoming Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) will detect many strongly lensed Type Ia supernovae (LSNe Ia) for time-delay cosmography. This will provide an independent and d…
