The last two decades have seen a major expansion in the availability, size, and precision of time-domain datasets in astronomy. Owing to their unique combination of flexibility, mathematical simplicity and comparative robustness, Gaussian Processes (GPs) have emerged recently as the solution of choice to model stochastic signals in such datasets. In this review we provide a brief introduction to the emergence of GPs in astronomy, present the underlying mathematical theory, and give practical advice considering the key modelling choices involved in GP regression. We then review applications of GPs to time-domain datasets in the astrophysical literature so far, from exoplanets to active galactic nuclei, showcasing the power and flexibility of the method. We provide worked examples using simulated data, with links to the source code, discuss the problem of computational cost and scalability, and give a snapshot of the current ecosystem of open source GP software packages. Driven by further algorithmic and conceptual advances, we expect that GPs will continue to be an important tool for robust and interpretable time domain astronomy for many years to come.

AGN Reverberation Mapping with LITMUS: Fundamental Limits on lag Recovery Rates
A Bayesian re-analysis of 906 OzDES AGN finds that previous reverberation lags, especially for MgII and CIV, are often false positives, with only 3-28% of MgII sources showing simple lags.

A Four-Dimensional Gaussian Random Field Generator for Modeling Spatiotemporal Variability in Astrophysical Sources
A new semi-analytic 4D Gaussian random field generator couples a prescribed thick-disk Kerr velocity to a composite torus-jet variability field, giving a ready-to-use time-dependent black-hole emission model.

Radial velocity homogeneous analysis of M dwarfs observed with HARPS I. Exoplanet detection and candidates
A homogeneous HARPS RV analysis of 200 M dwarfs mostly recovers known systems and proposes new planet candidates around GJ300, GJ654, and GJ739, plus four stellar or substellar companions.
