Bursts from Space: MeerKAT https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/alex-andersson/bursts-from-space-meerkat Subject Number: 70786879 Talk on the subject: https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/alex-andersson/bursts-from-space-meerkat/talk/subjects/70786879 The flux density from this astronomical object was expressed in milliJansky unit, by a color map (not real colors). The orange blob at the left bottom is the PSF ("point spread function"), showing the shape of an ideal pointwise source as recorded by the radiotelescope taking in count the spatial resolution of the instrument, and the sky position of the object. Reference with my contribute as a citizen scientist: https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stad1298
Almost all of the error bars are smaller than the diameter of the dots, still showing a significative dynamic range in the flux density over the time. The variability amplitude is about 40 mJy, excluding the outliers. The median flux is about 15.7 mJy. The subject has a good activity in the explored time window, for the available time resolution, with a first distinctive growing phase between the epochs 59300 MJD - 59350 MJD; a falling phase between the epochs 59350 MJD - 59425 MJD; a second prominent growing phase between the epochs 59425 MJD - 59525 MJD. "MJD" stands for "Modified Julian Day": this is a time unit used by astronomers to refer to an event "zero", without having to calculate the days from the ordinary calendary. This is a uniform time reference.
