Brite‐Constellation: A status report
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract The BRITE‐Constellation, short for “BRIght Target Explorer” Constellation, is a group of six nanosatellites from Austria, Poland and Canada carrying thirty millimeter aperture optical telescopes with a CCD camera. The goal of the mission is to photometrically measure low‐level oscillations and temperature variations of the brightest stars in the sky down to a visual magnitude of 4.0, with unprecedented precision and time coverage not achievable from ground in two colors. The improved three‐axis pointing performance which is a critical element that makes this high precision photometry mission feasible is a recent development by the University of Toronto’s Space Flight Laboratory. The University of Vienna and the FFG/ALR (Austria’s space agency) are financing the development of two satellites. The Polish Academy of Sciences is funding two additional satellites as well as the Canadian Space Agency resulting in six components for the constellation (© 2012 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
