System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the computation of astronomical source variability metrics, crucial for identifying transient events and classifying source behavior.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Variability Metric Computation: Calculates key metrics like Eta (η), Coefficient of Variation (V), and Sigma-Deviation for astronomical sources.
  • ESE Detection: Identifies potential Extreme Scattering Events (ESEs) based on defined criteria.
  • Pipeline Integration: Seamlessly integrates as a stage within the DSA-110 data processing pipeline.
  • Use Case: Automatically process all detected sources in a new radio astronomy mosaic to flag those exhibiting significant changes in brightness over time, potentially indicating new astrophysical phenomena.

Quick Start

Execute the light curve skill to compute variability metrics for the source NVSS_J123456+420312.
