2 New Generation of Large Imaging Surveys • Science Goals (varying, but common themes): – Cosmology/Dark Energy – Galaxy Formation and Evolution – Time-Domain Studies – Local (Galactic) Structure – … • Billions of targets for ELT Follow-up • Immense synergies to be exploited
3 Brief Survey of New Imaging Surveys • Dark Energy Survey (2013-18) • Hyper Suprime-cam surveys (2014-18) • LSST (2021-31) • Euclid (2020-26) • WFIRST/AFTA (early 2020’s?) • With apologies to PanSTARRS, Skymapper,… • Dates are notional survey start dates, based on recent information from participants/proponents
