Comet is an implementation of the `VOEvent Transport Protocol `_, which provides a mechanism for fast and reliable distribution of VOEvents to the community. Comet enables you to subscribe to and act upon real-time streams of ongoing events, to use filters to select only events relevant to your science case and to publish your own events to the global VOEvent backbone. .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 installation usage/index filtering handlers history credits appendix/index Released versions of Comet are available for :doc:`download `, while the latest development version can be obtained from the `GitHub repository `_.
