Notes. We abbreviated false positive to FP. It indicates the number of sources that can be expected to be found above the particular threshold, if all sources were intrinsically non-variable, for either method individually. All sources identified at each level that are not characterised as being extended, are point-like.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.
