Stardust@home

Because my own Events List is so anemic, I am wondering how populous the Events Lists of the top scorers are. I have 18 tagged movies out of 12,886 real movies viewed, at a pathetic percentage rate of .0014, just over 1 tenth of a percent. And the scary part is that probably only 5 of those movies really have anything in them at all. I wonder if those of you with high scores would mind sharing your Events List stats?

Thanks, Elaine

Hi, Elaine. I have 48 items in my events list from 67,282 real movies viewed, or just over 0.07%. As you know, some of those are fiducials, others are wishful thinking, and some are clearly not candidates. Only a few (maybe four to six, I didn't go back to look) are strong candidate tracks. So, my hit rate seems similar to yours. Regards,

Mike C.

Hi Elaine,

I have 151 possibles out of 113985. So like you I'm at .0013. Five of my events are tagged possible idp by Stardust, another is an inclusion. I think I have come across 3 or 4 fiducials.

We are searching for a needle in a cosmic haystack. Isn't it fun?!

Elaine, my stats: 55/39115 = 0.0014, exactly the same ratio as you with 18/12886 (= percentage 0.14%).
But like Mitch, while some have been added to the Alpha List, I'm not desperately convinced about most of them except the obvious fiducials.

Thanks to those of you who responded to my query. I guess this is good news and bad news...good news because I'm not going blind as I feared, bad news because the pickings are very slim indeed this time around. Mitch, how did you manage to have your movies rated? Are they repeats from Phases 1 and 2? Mine are still all at indeterminate.

Elaine

Hi Elaine,

Five of my events are marked 'passed cut 1', one is marked 'not extraterrestrial' and the rest are 'indeterminate.' Some of the 'passed cut one ' events showed up while we were redoing what I believe were old phase 2 movies, others appear to be midnight tracks. Perhaps one is the mysterious track 37. See if you have these movies listed in your events: 730481V1, 9982449V1, 5088094V1, 713645V1, and 6125350V1.

Hi Mitch. I checked those against my Phase 1 list and only had the first one, marked as an IDP. I have no determinations on my lists for Phases 2 and 3. I guess that must be what you have...old Phase 1 movies. I don't have enough movies on my Events List to have any, I guess.
