Description
White paper from the "KIPAC Workshop: Rubin 2036" (August 3–5, 2026) exploring science enabled by new narrow-, medium-, and offset broad-band filters on the Vera C. Rubin Observatory after LSST. Seven science cases, from high-redshift cosmology and photometric redshifts to Galactic archaeology, exoplanet biosignatures, and Kuiper Belt objects, are assessed for science reach, figures of merit, data needs, and risks.
