I got some of the code running and experimented with visualizing the filtering.
What the pipeline is doing is finding all the blobs of light in the planes, and then rejecting ones that are known stars or that don't look like points of light...
Important correction: I made a mistake.
This subset of 5,399 candidates is not mentioned in the latest papers. This catalogue is frequently cited but is not the statistical parent population used in the 2025 papers (MNRAS and PASP), which...
We have a rich vocabulary, there's no reason to keep using sloppy terms, several alternatives are already in use.
I quite like the D/R/I and D/R/C/I distinctions in imaging, most used now in surveilance of humans, but aerial phenomena seem to...
