Science Cases for the Keck Wide-Field Imager
Abstract
The Keck Wide-Field Imager (KWFI) is a proposed 1-degree diameter field of view UV-sensitive optical camera for Keck prime focus. KWFI will be the most powerful optical wide-field camera in the world and the only such 8m-class camera sensitive down to ~3000 A for the foreseeable future. Twenty science cases are described for KWFI compiled largely during 2019-2021, preceded by a brief discussion of the instrument, components, and capabilities for context.
