Large Synoptic Survey Telescope White Paper; The Case for Matching U-band on Deep Drilling Fields

B. W. Holwerda, A. Baker, S. Blyth +12

U-band observations with the LSST have yet to be fully optimized in cadence. The straw man survey design is a simple coverage of the medium-deep-fast survey. Here we argue that dee…
