Inconsistent TNS FRB designation & flux units #20

Closed 0xCoto closed 3 years ago

0xCoto commented 3 years ago

The TNS contain an instance of FRB 20181130B, but no instance of FRB 20181130A. This may be an automatic error, because reporters are new to the designation (suffix letter format), and because the reported UTC time is 00:00:00, which is clearly inaccurate. Table 1 of the corresponding publication reports the exact MJD.

Same issues apply for FRB 20181118: while instances of FRB 20181118C and FRB 20181118D are present, no instances of FRB 20181118A or FRB 20181118B have been published to the TNS database.

(The TNS has published incorrect units for the flux density of these burst (mJy instead of Jy), but that's another issue.)

Flux and MJD corrections have been applied to the FRBSTATS catalogue and are visible on the online database.
