GRB analysis for the science tools checkout

The tools in this area are evtbin and rspgen. The expectation is that the evaluators will be running XSPEC, too, but of course not actually reviewing it.

Unbinned likelihood can and will also be used for GRB analysis. The current functionality of the likeilhood should be more than sufficient to do basic burst analysis, but we may wish to supplement its capabilities, e.g., by incorporating prior information from fits at other wavelengths, etc..

Please edit this page to include results, issues, advice, etc., or links to these.

    I tried to redo the analysis on DC1 I did for DC1 using the ST version v5r1p1. The results are in the page http://www.ts.infn.it/~longof/grb_tutorial_2.html
    Nothing to be noted about GRB science tools. The use seems simpler. I have anyway to look for their documentation, cince I failed to create a count map using evtbin putting 10 pixel of 1 degree per pixel centered at the GRB position in RA, DEC.
