Notes. The sub-index in the χ2 value, degrees of freedom ν and probability P indicates the time binning of the data: 12 or 24 h.

(a)

This indicates the probability of the null hypothesis for the tests of constancy and linear. trend and of chance correlation for the correlation coefficient.

(b)

The quantities in parentheses for the 12 h binning parameters refer to the case where the point of steepest spectrum and highest flux was removed.
