What is an artifact?

  • Tailshedge by Tailshedge

    The classifying guide rather unhelpfully doesn't tell you what a pillar, bowshock or artifact are. I've worked out the first two, but what is an artifact?

    Hi Tailshedge,

    That is weird, there is a paragraph about artifacts (as well as about bowshocks and pillars) in the [Guide], with images.(http://www.milkywayproject.org/#/guide)

    OTHER OBJECTS: ARTIFACTS

    There are several different kinds of image artifacts in the data.
    Knowing where these are can be useful for the research team. These can
    be selected as an option in the 'other' category. However, we don't
    you to mark the large, blocky artifacts at the edge of many of the
    images (see below).
