[vsnet-alert 27911] Re: Jose Ripero's data will be excluded from my database from now on
These observations were his first ones in 2023 and he didn't know that the object had already been in bright phase. I must doubt the reliability of his observations and don't import his data into my personal (not official) database from now on to prevent the propagation of errors (or "pseudo-data"). Please don't feel bad.
Sorry for using vsnet-alert, but this is an important issue (for users of VSNET data to use or not to use his observations). I checked the intervals of his observations on July 16 and found that the great majority (more than 70%) of the intervals were 0.0007 day (I initially thought that they were spaced by 1 min, but were not; exactly 0.0007 day). The cases of interval=0 were the second most abundant. So he apparently automatically created the times of observations by adding a constant of 0.0007 day. Any user would be able to confirm these statistics.
