Optimizing the LSST Observing Strategy for Dark Energy Science: DESC Recommendations for the Wide-Fast-Deep Survey
Michelle Lochner, Daniel M. Scolnic, Humna Awan +33
Cosmology is one of the four science pillars of LSST, which promises to be transformative for our understanding of dark energy and dark matter. The LSST Dark Energy Science Collabo…
Serendipitous Discoveries of Kilonovae in the LSST Main Survey: Maximising Detections of Sub-Threshold Gravitational Wave Events
Christian N. Setzer, Rahul Biswas, Hiranya V. Peiris +3
We investigate the ability of the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) to discover kilonovae (kNe) from binary neutron star (BNS) and neutron star-black hole (NSBH) mergers, focu…
Presto-Color: A Photometric Survey Cadence for Explosive Physics & Fast Transients
Federica B. Bianco, Maria R. Drout, Melissa L. Graham +6
We identify minimal observing cadence requirements that enable photometric astronomical surveys to detect and recognize fast and explosive transients and fast transient features. O…
Optimizing the LSST Observing Strategy for Dark Energy Science: DESC Recommendations for the Deep Drilling Fields and other Special Programs
Daniel M. Scolnic, Michelle Lochner, Phillipe Gris +21
We review the measurements of dark energy enabled by observations of the Deep Drilling Fields and the optimization of survey design for cosmological measurements. This white paper…
The LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration (DESC) Science Requirements Document
The LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration, Rachel Mandelbaum, Tim Eifler +32
The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) Dark Energy Science Collaboration (DESC) will use five cosmological probes: galaxy clusters, large scale structure, supernovae, strong le…
