Catalogue monitoring

Watch a whole catalogue for behaviour changes

Months of tracks from many stations, turned into a report per object — behaviour, rotation trend, glints — and alerts the day something changes.

The question

Thousands of tracks a month is more than anyone can read. What matters is the object whose light curve stopped looking like itself.

How LightCurve answers

Step by step.

  1. 01

    Load the history

    One or many objects, many stations, a stations file and a DISCOS export, processed in your browser.

  2. 02

    Read each object

    Magnitude against phase and time, behaviour classes, rotation and its abrupt changes, glints and the facets behind them, angular coverage, equivalent size.

  3. 03

    Get alerted

    The latest tracks are compared with each object’s own history; watch and confirmed levels on brightness and periodicity.

  4. 04

    Go from report to physics

    Compare the population, find look-alike objects, and open any track in the simulator with its measured geometry.

What you get

Deliverables.

  • A 15-section report per object
  • Population view across the catalogue
  • Alert episodes with their dates and scores
  • Signature comparison and nearest neighbours
