Opportunities in Time-domain Stellar Astrophysics with the NASA Near-Earth Object Camera (NEOCam)

Abstract
NEOCam will provide valuable data for the discovery and characterization of cold brown dwarfs, exoplanet analogs with weather variations, pre-main sequence variables, infrared-only transients, and more. For a relatively small investment, NASA can realize the full potential of NEOCam data by providing additional data products and transient alerting.
