Below is part of the info from one of my completed tasks. I've read the seti at home science info pages and have a basic understanding of what the apps are looking for and reporting. For example, I know what triplet and gaussian are. Can anyone help define some of the following: score unscaled peak power peak (is this how high the signal spike is?) period (is this how often a signal repeats?) + any other terms you see used below that you'd like to point out what they mean. Thanks! Here is what part of the task report looked like: period_iterations_num=50 Pulse: peak=4.959887, time=45.9, period=10.02, d_freq=6316766807.56, score=1.144, chirp=40.938, fft_len=2k D: threshold 0.6622109; unscaled peak power: 0.7396384 exceeds threshold for 11.69% Pulse: peak=1.745345, time=45.86, period=2.655, d_freq=6316772726.25, score=1.08, chirp=53.308, fft_len=1024 D: threshold 0.1572715; unscaled peak power: 0.1650535 exceeds threshold for 4.948% Pulse: peak=1.092289, time=45.82, period=1.158, d_freq=6316768743.11, score=1.011, chirp=63.256, fft_len=128 D: threshold 0.01597591; unscaled peak power: 0.01606624 exceeds threshold for 0.5654% Pulse: peak=3.379097, time=45.84, period=7.617, d_freq=6316774685, score=1.012, chirp=-71.927, fft_len=512 D: threshold 0.1361406; unscaled peak power: 0.1373694 exceeds threshold for 0.9026% Triplet: peak=11.37841, time=61.01, period=15.16, d_freq=6316768017.5, chirp=-81.62, fft_len=64 Best spike: peak=23.08, time=40.09, d_freq=6316775435.03, chirp=21.075, fft_len=128k Best autocorr: peak=16.87226, time=17.18, delay=3.9247, d_freq=6316772131.21, chirp=-19.193, fft_len=128k Best gaussian: peak=0, mean=0, ChiSq=0, time=-2.124e+011, d_freq=0, score=-12, null_hyp=0, chirp=0, fft_len=0 Best pulse: peak=4.959887, time=45.9, period=10.02, d_freq=6316766807.56, score=1.144, chirp=40.938, fft_len=2k Best triplet: peak=11.37841, time=61.01, period=15.16, d_freq=6316768017.5, chirp=-81.62, fft_len=64 Spike count: 0 Autocorr count: 0 Pulse count: 4 Triplet count: 1 Gaussian count: 0 |
