CHC-FRC-VP1: Official CHIME/FRB Exposure-Injection Selection-Stress Gates

This is a reader-facing guide to the paper: what it is for, where it sits in the 70-entry parent-and-companion release, what the manuscript abstract says, and what not to over-read from the web page.

What to use this paper for.

Role in the series

Declared calibration ledgers and observational stress windows for cosmology, compact objects, and carrier conversion.

Use this block for declared calibration ledgers and public witness windows. Treat every empirical contact as explicitly bounded.

Read it for

  • What calibration or observational window is declared before testing.
  • Which pass, stress, or non-exclusion language is actually allowed.
  • How same-window and same-instance requirements constrain interpretation.

Keep separate

  • Public support lanes versus owner-level theorem closure.
  • Stress/non-exclusion results versus confirmation claims.
  • Calibration readout windows versus universal parameter determination.
Manuscript-based orientation

What the manuscript says this paper establishes.

The VP1 exposure-aware and injection-assisted public-data stress record evaluates the CHC--FRC count/log-shell diagnostic only on the declared CHIME/FRB Catalog 1 exposure and injection route. The declared public data objects are the CHIME/FRB Catalog 1 CSV, the CHIME/FRB Catalog 1 live-injected subset, and a CHIME/FRB Catalog 1 exposure-map input. The archived manuscript remains authoritative for exact notation, equations, assumptions, and exclusions.

Scope

VP0 establishes a catalog-side CHIME/FRB selection-stress result for FRC. VP1 adds two public selection-control layers: an injection-assisted completeness stress lane and an exposure-context stress lane. This analysis reports a declared public-data stress result on the stated CHIME/FRB exposure and injection route. The result may be used in FRC only as declared-window compatibility under visible CHIME/FRB exposure and injection controls.

Official public data objects

The CHIME/FRB Open Data catalog tutorial states that Catalog 1 data are available from the official CHIME/FRB website in CSV and FITS formats and gives the Catalog 1 column route, including sky position, exposure columns, SNR, DM, excess-DM proxies, fluence, and exclusion flags [citation]. The First CHIME/FRB Catalog is the Catalog 1 scientific reference used for the public table and the selection-calibration context [citation]. The injection tutorial states that the Catalog 1 injection dataset has two files: a full HDF5 file with five million synthetic FRBs and a pickle/DataFrame file for the subset actually injected into the live CHIME/FRB intensity stream, described as about 85,000 events [citation]. The exposure tutorial gives a Catalog 1 exposure-map route through CHIME/FRB Open Data and points to the exposure data in CANFAR [citation]. The beam-model tutorial describes the Catalog 1 beam model used for analyses and gives the sensitivity-calculation interface [citation]. The injection system paper explains that injections are used to map intrinsic burst properties to expected SNR while accounting for telescope characteristics such as beam model and calibration factors [citation].

The declared VP1 evaluation used the following public data objects: center

Exposure columns are recorded as exposure-context stress support, not as a reconstructed all-sky selection function.

Declared gate result

center The catalog exposure summary records 600 rows with positive exposure and total exposure sum 47,923.4 in the staged exposure units of the input map and table. This lane is an exposure-context diagnostic only.

The replay result reproduces the declared BOUNDED-NULLOVERTURN label. The replay public-source basis is recorded in the cited public references and companion statements and is not part of the scientific claim beyond the declared gate label.

Public-source summary

The replay-confirmed official-data evaluation is summarized by declared replay-result, source-configuration, replay-procedure, and public-source basis records retained in the cited public references and companion statements. These records do not strengthen the scientific label beyond .

Classification

The assigned VP1 label is

FRC-VP1-CHIME-EXPOSURE-INJECTION-STRESS-BOUNDED-NULLOVERTURN.\boxed{\texttt{FRC-VP1-CHIME-EXPOSURE-INJECTION-STRESS-BOUNDED-NULLOVERTURN}}.
TeX source
\boxed{\texttt{FRC-VP1-CHIME-EXPOSURE-INJECTION-STRESS-BOUNDED-NULLOVERTURN}}.

It means that the declared VP0 count/log-shell diagnostic survives this exposure-aware and injection-assisted public-data stress layer under the declared CHIME/FRB Catalog 1 window. It does not mean that the CHIME/FRB selection function is fully reconstructed.

Status statement

quote \ is classified as a declared CHIME/FRB exposure-aware and injection-assisted stress result. The declared evaluation gives \ on 600 catalog rows, 84,697 live-injected rows, 29,641 detected injection rows, and a stable injection-efficiency grid with coefficient of variation 0.0516933. The result is declared-window compatibility under visible CHIME/FRB injection and exposure controls only; it is not a full CHIME/FRB selection-function closure, luminosity-function inference, DM-to-redshift assignment, FRB population-law verification, or CHC propagation-correction detection. quote
