Source Notes:
Details of the source detection:
From
Cao et al. (2021):
- "At 100 TeV, the angular and energy resolutions are about 15–20 arcmin
and better than 20%, respectively, allowing adequate spectroscopic and
morphological studies."
- "The statistical significance of the detection above 100 TeV is calculated
using a 0.3deg extension template"
- "Crab Units (CU), flux of the Crab Nebula at 100 TeV; 1 CU = 6.1 x 10-17 photons TeV-1 cm-2 s-1)"
- Significance above 100 TeV: 7.7 sigma
- E_max (PeV): 0.21 +/- 0.05
- Differential photon flux at 100 TeV (CU): 0.70 +/- 0.18
- On-source events/Off-source events: 26/4.2
- Exposure (hr): 1614.5
Source Position:
From
