Science Tools Working Group

Wiki MarkupThe current release of the Science Tools is now *v9r12*. Here are the package [differences from v9r11|https://www.slac.stanford.edu/www-glast-dev/cgi/releaseDiff?sessionId=f2456a99a4d99dba59c3fa03cc71cca5&cpId=20370&prevCpid=20124]. As Jim summarizes it, the new release includes updates to the pulsar tools, and the new P6_V4 & P6_V5 IRFs, and the corrected energy dispersions for P6_V\[3-5]. See Riccardo's [DC2:Summary of response function sets].

Note that the P6_V4 and P6_V5 IRFs have the azimuthal variation of the effective area; Jim reminds me that gtltcube can now tabulate the azimuthal dependence of the livetime accumulation with the command-line parameter phibins, which defaults to 0. I'm not aware of studies yet of the effect of accounting for azimuthal variations on the likelihood analysis of sources.
