*Science use Cases for Time Series*

---+ *Group A:*
<ul> <li>
---++++ <strong>Common requirement: </strong>Combine photometry and light curves of a given object/list of objects in the same photometric band
</li> </ul>

   * Use Case #1: Supernova classification using the light curve 
      * Description: The visual light curves of the different supernova types vary in shape and amplitude, based on the underlying mechanisms of the explosion, the way that visible radiation is produced, and the transparency of the ejected material.

   * 
      * Requirements 
         * Combine photometry and light curves of a given object in the same photometric band
         * Show me a list of data that satisfies 
            * Target= SN 2011FE
            * Datatype= Photometry or TimeSeries/lightcurves
            * Axes include time
            * Axes include brightness
            * Information on photometric band (zero point, transmission curve of the filter)

   * Use Case #2: Long-term analysis of eclipsing binaries (based on [[http://arxiv.org/pdf/1207.6974v1.pdf][Park et al. 2012]]) 
      * Description: Long-term period and light curve variations, based on the historical data and new observations. The continuous period increase can be interpreted as a mass transfer from the secondary to the primary star. The most likely explanation of the sinusoidal variation found is a light-traveltime effect due to the existence of a circumbinary object which would make BX Dra a triple system.

   * Use Case #6: Exoplanet studies using radial velocities (based on [[http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2012A&A...542A..18L][Lagrange et al. 2012]]) 
      * Description: Using high precision Harps data collected over 8 years since 2003, beta Pic radial velocities have been measured and analyse to put direct constrains on the mass of beta Pic b and to search for additional jovian planets on orbits closer than typically 2 AU.
