2020 Vision: Towards a Sustainable OIR System
Abstract
US astronomy needs open-access telescopes of all apertures. We urge Astro2020 to explicitly promote the modest (1-4 m) facilities, and to recommend enhancing their funding stream. Further study is needed to prioritize their exciting potential capabilities, and to establish sustainable, long-term planning for the ground-based, OIR System.
