2013-2014: iPTF PESSTO meeting 2012 Avishay Gal-Yam Weizmann Institute of Science Same equipment, faster cadence: main goal for SNe: early time
2013-2014: iPTF PESSTO meeting 2012 Avishay Gal-Yam Weizmann Institute of Science A lot of PTF resources will be pointed at rapid response; PESSTO is perfect for complementary long-term campaigns
2013-onward: SEDM PESSTO meeting 2012 Avishay Gal-Yam Weizmann Institute of Science Dedicated low-res screening spectrograph on the 60” (perhaps also ICAM on INT). Crucial help for screening (only 46/month by PESSTO), while PESSTO can excel at follow-up
2015-2018: NGTF PESSTO meeting 2012 Avishay Gal-Yam Weizmann Institute of Science Even at higher cadence SN discovery rate would equal PTF peak rates (~1000 year). PESSTO will be crucial for screening and follow-up.
