A Higher Cadence Subsurvey Located in the Galactic Plane

Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics 2018-12-10 v1 Earth and Planetary Astrophysics Solar and Stellar Astrophysics

Abstract

Presently, the Galactic plane receives relatively few observations compared to most of the LSST footprint. While this may address static science, the plane will also represent the highest density of variable Galactic sources. The proper characterization of variability of these sources will benefit greatly from observations at a higher cadence.
