... It can perform any or all of the following variability tests on the light curve to determine whether the source is variable, however if insufficient good bins remain, no variability tests are carried out. a Kolmogorov-Smirnov test carried out either on: the cumulative probability functions of the observed count distribution and the observed background distribution; or the cumulative probability function of the observed net count distribution and the cumulative time distribution. ...

... Abstract Fetch from the kernel pool the double precision values of an item associated with a body. ... It's an error to supply an output array that is too small to hold all of the values associated with the requested kernel variable. Detailed_Output dim is the number of values returned; this is always the number of values associated with the requested kernel variable unless an error has been signaled. values is the array of values associated with the requested kernel variable. ...

... The standard science quicklook processing produces over a dozen sky maps at each downlink, and these maps are automatically searched for potential transient point sources. ... We have found that a heuristic modification of a formula derived by Li & Ma (1983) provides reasonably accurate estimates of p -values for point source detections even for very low p -value detections. ... Case 1u. The most straightforward approach uses the signal , where . ... To get a p -value, use . ...

... During the analysis of the surveys carried out on RATAN-600, it was found that almost one fifth of the detected sources shows significant radio flux variations. ... We used the data from "Cold" radio surveys carried out with RATAN-600 in 1980-1994 to search for radio sources with significant flux variability. ...

... Paradoxically, signal detection is concerned with fitting models to supposedly random series similarly to mathematical proofs by reductio ad absurdum of the antithesis. ... The quality of the fit is evaluated using a function S of the series , , and . ... A random variable S is characterized by its probability distribution function. ... The special realization of a random series which consists of independent variables of common (gaussian) distribution is called (gaussian) white noise. ...
