Time Series and Light CurvesThis page is for posting materials and links relevant to the exchange of light curve data. DocumentsThe following documents develop the VO time series standards:Use CasesWith the increasing importance of synoptic surveys in modern astronomy, the IVOA could expand its repertoire of data objects to include time series data (Light Curves). An interoperable protocol for exchanging light curves would open the current tight connection between data and classifiers. I propose that the IVOA work towards a Simple Light Curve Access Protocol (SLiCAP) for the following science reasons:
