Irregular Time Series Breakout

Ground-based astronomical surveys produce vast numbers of lightcurves with irregular cadences. Specialized methods are needed for time domain characterization, search for periodicity, search for sudden transients, and classification into many types of variable objects. This is an area where most advances are made in astronomical contexts. We'll explore these topics in this special breakout session of the SCMA VII conference.

Moderators: Joshua S. Bloom (University of California Berkeley) and Hyungsuk Tak (The Pennsylvania State University)
