Description

The workshop will outline the prospects of using LSST to observe the electromagnetic counterparts of gravitational-wave observations by Advanced LIGO, Virgo and KAGRA. We will further discuss what needs to be done in getting ready for these observations before LSST comes online. The workshop is supported by a grant from LSSTC Enabling Science.
