Contribution
It proposes a framework for developing next-generation LSST capabilities through community input and strategic planning.
Findings
Extended operations can significantly enhance LSST science output.
New filters and instrumentation can open new research avenues.
A mid-decade community-driven process is essential for defining future LSST capabilities.
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.
