A Strategy for LSST to Unveil a Population of Kilonovae without Gravitational-wave Triggers
We present a cadence optimization strategy to unveil a large population of kilonovae using optical imaging alone. These transients are generated during binary neutron star and potentially neutron star–black hole mergers and are electromagnetic counterparts to gravitational-wave signals detectable in...
