Electromagnetic form factors of hyperons in the timelike region: A short review

We review recent experimental and theoretical results for the electromagnetic form factors of hyperons (Y) in the timelike region, accessible in the reactions e⁺e^- → YY. Specifically, we focus on the final states ΛΛ, ΛΣ⁰/Σ⁰Λ, ΣΣ, ΞΞ, and ΩΩ. The Λ_cΛ_c system is also discussed.
