Re: Flashers

Well, the lack of any reasonable explanations means that I have to do some 
work and put up some curves.  I will do this.  It may take a couple of 
days.  I have been assuming that these were noise or some standard 
item.  They have been a pain since they show up with high WS statistic and 
I have to look at all of them to find the other good things.

Grasping at straws, one could get this type of data by luck and 
aliasing.  Consider a pulsing star that you happen to measure ten times at 
it's low value and once (or twice) at it's high value.

OK, onward to real data, real curves, and stars where the location can be 
looked up.
