Fig. D.4

Top panels: examples of micro-clanks in the AL TGAS residuals during a time interval of 500 s (left) and a subinterval of 50 s (right). The vertical lines show the times of the micro-clanks as estimated from rate data (red/blue for positive/negative jumps). The attitude knot interval is 30 s, which sets the typical period of the wiggles seen between the micro-clanks. In the top right panel, filled blue dots are ungated observations and open red circles are gated observations. The shorter integration time of the gated observations gives a steeper slope of the residuals around the micro-clanks, as can be seen, for example, by comparing the open red circles and filled blue dots around the jump at 303 s in the top right panel. Bottom panels: AL inertial angular rates estimated from successive ungated CCD observations of a much larger number of faint (~15 mag) stars. Individual rate estimates are shown as blue dots. The thick magenta curve shows the median rate estimate in each bin of 0.045 s duration. The black curve is a 5-point running triangular mean of the medians, added to better show the rate variations. The vertical lines at the bottom of the diagram show the estimated times of the micro-clanks detected by means of a simple matched filter.
