Recurring polarized bursts and persistent emission were observed, but rapid variability was not measurable in all epochs because of per-bin signal-to-noise limitations. MEASUREMENT

Exact excerpt

The emission from β Pic b is composed of recurring, rapidly-variable bursts with large circular polarization of ≈40–70%, as well as fainter inter-burst persistent emission. The remaining epochs (2025-02-15 L-band; 2026-02-20 S-band low & high) do not show measurable variability due to insufficient SNR per bin, but this lack of variability constrains any rapid bursts in those epochs to within a factor of ≈2 (L-band) to ≈5 (S-band subarrays) times the measured continuum flux.
