The LSST will discover over one million supernovae during its 10-year survey. This overwhelming compendium of stellar death throes will allow for novel techniques and insights in our study of the evolution of the Universe, large-scale structure, supernova explosion physics, and star formation and evolution.
We here present our most detailed simulations to date of the lightcurves and properties of the supernovae that will be found by LSST using the LSST operations and cadence simulation and the SNANA supernova survey modeling code. The largest uncertainty in our results is due to the lack of large samples of non-Type Ia supernovae and the uncertainty in the type-dependent supernovae rate as a function of redshift. We argue for increased observations of all types of supernovae in the nearby Universe and programs to investigate what spectroscopic subsamples will be necessary to enable photometric classification of the supernovae to be found by LSST.
