The March coincidences

A set of detections recorded at widely separated stations in the same instant, surviving every test for chance and cross-talk.

A set of detections recorded at widely separated stations in the same instant, surviving every test for chance and cross-talk.

Deterministic representative spectrogram with 64 time slices and 22 frequency bins. Bright horizontal bands indicate persistent narrow-band energy in this illustrative reconstruction.time slicefrequency bin

Method
Illustrative public visualization; raw station records are not reproduced.
Public packet
  • coincident timing abstract
  • station separation class
  • cross-talk rejection memo
  • chance-coincidence worksheet
Review controls
Coordinate source
Multi-station geometry retained in restricted coincidence file
Uncertainty
No public centroid; detection is defined by simultaneity rather than location
Release state
Under study; public timing abstract released

Processing notes

  • sub-second coincidence screen after clock-drift correction
  • shared infrastructure and network cross-talk rejection
  • weather, seismic, and power-grid event comparison
  • chance alignment estimate across retained station hours

Ordinary-source checks

  • maintenance and station schedule review
  • ordinary-source exclusion summary
  • release review before public posting

Release limits

  • station pairings and exact timing offsets are restricted
  • public classification reports behavior only
  • external requests receive aggregate timing bands
Public release note

Public release is limited to timing behavior and station separation class. Exact station pairings are removed.
