Number of CTL targets observed for a given number of 27.4-day sectors. FFI targets are shown in blue, and 2-minute cadence targets in red. In total, 3.2 million CTL targets are observed, of which 214,000 are observed at 2-minute cadence. Roughly three-quarters of targets are only observed for a single sector, with just 2.1% having 12 or 13 sectors of coverage. The 2-minute cadence targets are disproportionately observed for more sectors, with 4.2% of the 2-minute cadence targets receiving 12 or 13 sectors of coverage.
