Time domain astronomy was highlighted as a key science area for the 2020s in the Astro2020 Decadal Review. Both HST and JWST have the potential to make significant scientific contributions in probing the variable universe at moderate and longer timescales. HST has the advantage of a 30-year legacy of observations spanning the broadest range of celestial sources; JWST has the prospect of a 20-year lifetime, with unparalleled sensitivity at near- and mid-infrared wavelengths opens up opportunities in the high redshift universe. Phenomena include both photometric and spectroscopic variations and astrometric motions.

...

The Long-Term Monitoring WG is charged with providing guidance on optimal strategies for maximizing the scientific return from HST and JWST time domain observations. In particular, the Workng Working Group should address the following tasks:

...

The Working Group co-chairs are Saurabh Jha (Rutgers University) and Dana Casetti (Southern Connecticut University) and the members are:
