This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 15 March 2025.
All research outputs
#8,259,947
of 27,909,215 outputs
Outputs from Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters
#1,348
of 2,428 outputs
Outputs of similar age

of 182,782 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters
#9
of 31 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 27,909,215 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 69th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,428 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 21.4. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 182,782 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 68% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 31 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 70% of its contemporaries.
