The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) will likely have several cadences, but one of the most general will be a cadence which covers a large portion of the available sky repeatedly in a limited number of filters in a short period of time, for example every 3 to 5 nights. Such a cadence is useful not only for identifying and tracking moving sources such as Near Earth Objects (NEOs), but also for identifying and following moderately long-term (month timescale) transient events such as supernovae. Given a sample general cadence, we investigate the number of type Ia and core-collapse supernovae likely to be discovered per year with LSST. We also investigate the resulting light curve and multi-filter sampling and how these data might best be used for studying SN rates, dark energy models and other science programs based on obtaining a large sample of supernovae.
