There are significant scientific synergies between proposed facilities making up the Square Kilometer Array and its precursor pathfinders, including the EVLA, the Allen Telescope, and LOFAR, and upcoming Optical/NIR Synoptic Survey Telescopes such as the Pan-STARRS Telescopes (PS1, PS4, PSn), and the LSST Corporation Telescope.
Commissioning data from the PS1 System will be presented along with discussion of lessons learned to date from commissioning and issues arising from the start of the PS1 Science Mission this spring.
The approach of the PS1 Science Consortium towards survey strategies and the synergies that arise from designing observational data sets to meet diverse science goals and the challenges of data reduction and coordinated scientific analysis tools in the epoch of multiple petabyte datasets will be presented. In particular we will focus on the scientific benefits of coordinating Optical/IR synoptic sky surveys such as Pan-STARRS and LSST with the SKA pathfinders and the proposed mid-frequency Radio Synoptic Survey Telescope as a component of the Square Kilometer Array. These include substantial gains for fundamental science across diverse physical and astrophysical fields of study and including both static sky and time domain multi-wavelength programs.
