Detection system

• Currently, the detection system employs the following data:
  • G-flux observations - all available in given cycle
  • accumulated G-flux: mean and scatter

• In the future it will also use:
  • accumulated BP and RP colours
  • morphology of the source
  • source motion flags
  • later in the mission: CU3, CU4, CU7 and CU8’s deliverables (information on motion, variability, astrophysical parameters)
