The Plane's The Thing: The Case for Wide-Fast-Deep Coverage of the Galactic Plane and Bulge
read the original abstract
We argue that the exclusion of the Galactic Plane and Bulge from the uniform wide-fast-deep (WFD) LSST survey cadence is fundamentally inconsistent with two of the main science drivers of LSST: Mapping the Milky Way and Exploring the Transient Optical Sky. We outline the philosophical basis for this claim and then describe a number of important science goals that can only be addressed by WFD-like coverage of the Plane and Bulge.
