The ratio of the standard deviation (SD) to the mean error (σ) of the NEOWISE epoch medians (left panel) is compared to the unTimely data (right panel), as a function of the mean magnitude. This analysis was based on 5000 randomly sampled SDSS Stripe 82 standard stars. The unTimely data clearly underestimate the photometric uncertainties, particularly for bright sources.
