Exploring the Time Domain With Synoptic Sky Surveys (1111.2078v1)
Published 8 Nov 2011 in astro-ph.IM and physics.data-an
Abstract: Synoptic sky surveys are becoming the largest data generators in astronomy, and they are opening a new research frontier, that touches essentially every field of astronomy. Opening of the time domain to a systematic exploration will strengthen our understanding of a number of interesting known phenomena, and may lead to the discoveries of as yet unknown ones. We describe some lessons learned over the past decade, and offer some ideas that may guide strategic considerations in planning and execution of the future synoptic sky surveys.
