NB: this section is unfinished. The finished analysis will be posted ASAP.
Here I address the problem of the contamination of the pooled root variance plots.
Visual inspection of both Northern and Southern solution plots (Figures 1
and 2) reveals a number of sources above
.
The typical reasons for large source variance are either intrinsic variability or
faulty photometry (either due to instrumental errors, or due to misidentification
of the sources in crowded fields). Here I analyze all sources with
and plot their raw (instrumental) magnitudes along with their calibrated magnitudes
as the function of time. Each source is coded as Xn (cf. Figures 1,
2), where X is N (North) or S (South) and n is an integer.
