Extended Data Fig. 3

Diagonal lines represent constant brightness temperatures. The brightness temperature of 1012 K separates coherent emitters from the incoherent ones, with the shaded region (lower right triangle) housing the incoherent emitters. The long period sources shown in the legend appear to cluster together as indicated by the box, which is merely to highlight the sources and does not have a physical significance.
