Description
I will present the status of the Timedomes project, started in 2021 and proposed as an in-kind contribution to the LSST collaboration. The program is targeting 4 sq.deg. of four of the LSST DDFs in two bands with 8 or more epochs each semester, in order to improve the temporal coverage of the fields up to the beginning of LSST observations. These data, complemented by all archival VST observations dating back to 2011, are allowing to build a legacy dataset of images and light curves to extend the DDF monitoring effort up to 20 years, with the aim of studying AGN properties and demographics, transient sources as well as provide deep reference templates.
