Abstract

The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) can advance scientific frontiers beyond its groundbreaking 10-year survey. Here we explore opportunities for extended operations with proposal-based observing strategies, new filters, or transformed instrumentation. We recommend the development of a mid-decade community- and science-driven process to define next-generation LSST capabilities.
