1305: LSST:UK context (Stephen Smartt)
Hope to get funded in Phase C but this will not count towards in-kind. It will however support other UK work that does count towards in-kind.
Spectra information inclusion is increasingly important. UK in a strong position.
The spectrograph of particular note to Lasair is 4MOST, the spectrograph for the VISTA telescope. TiDES is the part of the 4MOST survey focused on transients.
