  The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) has been designed in order to
satisfy several different scientific objectives that can be addressed by a
ten-year synoptic sky survey. However, LSST will also provide a large amount of
data that can then be exploited for additional science beyond its primary
goals. We demonstrate the potential of using LSST data to search for transiting
exoplanets, and in particular to find planets orbiting host stars that are
members of stellar populations that have been less thoroughly probed by current
exoplanet surveys. We find that existing algorithms can detect in simulated
LSST light curves the transits of Hot Jupiters around solar-type stars, Hot
Neptunes around K dwarfs, and planets orbiting stars in the Large Magellanic
Cloud. We also show that LSST would have the sensitivity to potentially detect
Super-Earths orbiting red dwarfs, including those in habitable zone orbits, if
they are present in some fields that LSST will observe. From these results, we
make the case that LSST has the ability to provide a valuable contribution to
exoplanet science.
