Computers are an integral part of astrophotography and perform a wide range of tasks. Anyone with poor computer skills soon learns either to develop them or find a hobby other than astrophotography. While computers are required for processing our digital images, they also can greatly facilitate the other aspects of astrophotography from identifying objects to photograph to printing out beautiful images to frame and hang on a wall for all to enjoy. All in all, the role of the computer is extensive. Some of the tasks they do for us are:
| citations This is an alternative to the "Influence" indicator, which also reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically). | 0 | |
| popularity This indicator reflects the "current" impact/attention (the "hype") of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network. | Average | |
| influence This indicator reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically). | Average | |
| impulse This indicator reflects the initial momentum of an article directly after its publication, based on the underlying citation network. | Average |
