Isoscalar and isovector kaon form factors from $e^+e^-$ and $τ$ data

The recent precise measurements of the $e^+e^-\to K_SK_L$ and $e^+e^-\to K^+K^-$ cross sections and the hadronic spectral function of the $τ^-\to K^-K_Sν_τ$ decay are used to extract the isoscalar and isovector electromagnetic kaon form factors and their relative phase in a model independent way. The experimental results are compared with a fit based on the vector-meson-dominance model.
