Melissa Graham added a comment - 28/Feb/20 8:55 PM - edited A draft document containing a collection of scientific motivations for potential types of filtered streams that brokers might request currently lives at:  https://github.com/lsst-dmsst/alert-options To summarize: alerts-related scientific analyses might benefit from streams pre-filtered based on apparent magnitude, sky region, the existence of a DIAObject history, association with an SSObject or Object, and/or observational metadata such as ToO observing programs. (This document also contains the work related to DM-20298 , which investigates the science drivers of the alerts' contents.) Further investigations – including robust estimates for the bandwidth reduction offered by these pre-filtered streams – should be postponed until the set of full broker proposals has been received and reviewed. This ticket is being closed, as any future investigations into pre-filtering streams will be done under  DM-20298  .
