How can we extract the best science from these and other astronomical facilities in an era of potentially flat federal budgets for both the facilities and the research grants? Optimizing the U.S. Ground-Based Optical and Infrared Astronomy System provides guidance for these new programs that align with the scientific priorities and the conclusions and recommendations of two National Research Council (NRC) decadal surveys, New Worlds, New Horizons for Astronomy and Astrophysics and Vision and Voyages for Planetary Sciences in the Decade 2013-2022, as well as other NRC reports. This report describes a vision for a U.S. OIR System that includes a telescope time exchange designed to enhance science return by broadening access to capabilities for a diverse community, an ongoing planning process to identify and construct next generation capabilities to realize decadal science priorities, and near-term critical coordination, planning, and instrumentation needed to usher in the era of LSST and giant telescopes"--$cPublisher's description. 606 $aAstronomy$xResearch 606 $aAstrophysics$xResearch 606 $aInfrared astronomy$xResearch 606 $aLarge astronomical telescopes 607 $aUnited States$2fast 615 0$aAstronomy$xResearch. 615 0$aAstrophysics$xResearch. 615 0$aInfrared astronomy$xResearch. 615 0$aLarge astronomical telescopes. 676 $a520.973 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bBoard on Physics and Astronomy, 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bDivision on Engineering and Physical Sciences, 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bCommittee on a Strategy to Optimize the U.S. Optical and Infrared System in the Era of the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST), 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797368003321 996 $aOptimizing the U.S. ground-based optical and infrared astronomy system$93725568 997 $aUNINA
