19. federica bianco UDel The LSST Science Collaborations LSST SCs current activities include: • designing and scoping LSST observing strategies for different science cases • learning and testing the LSST pipeline and science platform 
 • identifying gap in scientific preparation that would impair the LSST success in theoretical advancement (e.g. predictions on photometric observables, sparse time series analysis), software (e.g. sparse time series analysis tools, crowded field photometry, TOM), existing data (e.g. multiwavelenght coverage of Deep Drilling Fields) 
 • preparing of User-Generated data products

21. federica bianco UDel LSST LSST Deep Drilling Fields DDF (4.5%) North Ecliptic Survey The NES is an extension to reach the Ecliptic at higher airmass than the WFD survey typically covers, no u Galactic Plane (1.7%): covers the region where LSST is expected to be highly confused by the density of stellar sources; fewer total exposures/ field and does not collect in pairs South Celestial Pole (2.2%): higher airmass decl>−65 degrees. includes ugrizy, but takes fewer exposures/field than the WFD and does not collect in pairs.

29. federica bianco NYU - More colors? Refining the observing strategy • u-band • more g-band • specific filter pairs • filters for triplets (smaless plug… ) Bianco et al. 2019 PASP, Special issue on Time Domain Astronomy, in publication
30. federica bianco NYU - snap or no snap? Refining the observing strategy • Snap/visit exposure times:
 Many prefer ~30s (1snap/visit) [7% more efficient] • Some prefer 2x15s snaps - limited area only? (white dwarf transits, rapid variability/saturation) • 1 request for 2s/28s snaps • 1 minisurvey for 5s visits • 1 minisurvey for 1s-15s trailed images
