Workshop on WFIRST/LSST Deep Fields
August 30-31, 2018
McCormick Hall Princeton University, Princeton NJ
Overview
The 2020s will be the decade of the great surveys. LSST, WFIRST and Euclid will survey the sky in the optical and infrared with an unprecedented combination of depth and survey area. At the same time, we will have transformative new capabilities spanning from the radio to the X-ray. There is a potential for multiwavelength observations that could have a significant scientific impact.
The goal of this workshop is to maximize the science return from the upcoming deep surveys. The morning talks will introduce many of the upcoming surveys and some of the pressing science questions.
The afternoon sessions will focus on identifying the science requirements for different science areas. The workshop aims to inform planning for WFIRST's deep fields and to encourage the development of white papers for the recent LSST call for deep drilling mini-survey proposals.
