Discovery observation to MPEC publication

Distribution by publication delay

Choose a natural fixed interval. Each view uses equal-duration bins and no more than 72 bars: hours for the first three days, six-hour intervals for one week, days for one month, weeks for one year, and years for the complete range.

Publication within 24, 48 and 72 hours by year

The three annual lines show the complete share of qualifying one-object discovery MPECs published within each fixed delay threshold. The vertical scale is fixed at 0-100 percent in 20-percentage-point intervals.

Publication-delay distributions by decade

Empirical cumulative distributions compare the complete 1990s, 2000s, 2010s and 2020s records. A line farther left represents generally shorter delays. The horizontal axis is logarithmic and uses fixed meaningful duration marks.

Median delay by discovery station and year

Every station that supplied the earliest starred observation is included. Color intensity represents the logarithm of the complete station-year median; empty cells have no qualifying MPEC. Search narrows the displayed stations without changing the underlying data.

Monthly seasonality by year

The same complete month-year cells can show either median publication delay or qualifying MPEC count. Median color is logarithmic so the full long tail remains represented; count color uses a rounded linear maximum.

Annual volume and median publication delay

The aligned panels share one calendar axis. The upper panel shows qualifying MPEC volume and the lower panel shows the annual median delay. Separate rounded vertical scales avoid the misleading impression of a dual-axis chart.

Delay by discovery station

A qualifying MPEC is assigned to the station of its chronologically earliest starred observation. Every populated station is included; the search only changes the visible table rows.

Discovery observation to WAMO submission

Distribution by submission delay

Choose a natural fixed interval. Each view uses equal-duration bins and no more than 72 bars: hours for the first three days, six-hour intervals for one week, days for one month, weeks for one year, and years for the complete range.

MPEC publication time by date

Distribution by UTC publication hour

The histogram groups publication times into 24 one-hour bins. Its stacked category colors and totals follow the additive category selection above.

Publication weekday and UTC hour

The heatmap shows complete counts for each weekday/hour cell and follows the same additive category buttons. Darker cells mean more publications; hover reveals the exact count.
