Unique Science from a Coordinated LSST-WFIRST Survey of the Galactic Bulge

Published 7 Dec 2018 in astro-ph.IM, astro-ph.EP, and astro-ph.SR | (1812.04445v1)

Abstract: NASA's WFIRST mission will perform a wide-field, NIR survey of the Galactic Bulge to search for exoplanets via the microlensing techniques. As the mission is due to launch in the mid-2020s, around half-way through the LSST Main Survey, we have a unique opportunity to explore synergistic science from two landmark programs. LSST can survey the entire footprint of the WFIRST microlensing survey in a single Deep Drilling Field. Here we explore the great scientific potential of this proposal and recommend the most effective observing strategies.
