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: 7.4 sigma
- E_max (PeV): 0.71 + 0.16 -0.07
- Differential photon flux at 100 TeV (CU): 0.38 +/- 0.09
- On-source events/Off-source events: 29/5.8
- Exposure (hr): 2282.6

Source Position:

From Cao et al. (2021):
- R.A. (J2000): 292.25 = 19h 29m
- Dec. (J2000): +17.75 = +17d 45m
