- Collaboration, Members of the LSST Galaxies Science
The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) will enable revolutionary studies
of galaxies, dark matter, and black holes over cosmic time. The LSST Galaxies
Science Collaboration has identified a host of preparatory research tasks
required to leverage fully the LSST dataset for extragalactic science beyond
the study of dark energy. This Galaxies Science Roadmap provides a brief
introduction to critical extragalactic science to be conducted ahead of LSST
operations, and a detailed list of preparatory science tasks including the
motivation, activities, and deliverables associated with each. The Galaxies
Science Roadmap will serve as a guiding document for researchers interested in
conducting extragalactic science in anticipation of the forthcoming LSST era.
