Notes.

(a)

Reduced about the error-weighted mean count rate, and the corresponding p-value. p-values < 0.0027 are deemed significant (i.e., nonvariability is improbable) at a 3σ level.

(b)

Maximum error-normalized count rate change, in counts per second.

(c)

Ratio of maximum count rate to the minimum count rate (MR) and the propagated error (MRE).

(d)

Time interval for the largest error-normalized count rate change, in days.

(e)

Error-weighted mean count rate, in counts per second.

(f)

Maximum upward/downward count rate ratio for i > j (EMFU), i < j (EMFD).

(g)

Corresponding time intervals for EMFU and EMFD, in days.

(h)

Shortest time interval (in days) for a count rate increase (ET2U) or decrease (ET2D) by a factor > 2, i.e., where . If no such interval exists, we report as n.a.

(i)

Shortest time interval (in days) for a count rate increase (ET10U) or decrease (ET10D) by a factor > 10, i.e., where .

(j)

Z test statistic for the Wald-Wolfowitz runs test. At 5% significance (|Z|< 1.96), one should accept a null hypothesis of random variability.
