template

energetic threshold = f(dec) low threshold cuts readily available ?

shower reconstruction: MC/version ?

 

point source sensitivity = f(dec) public? generally applicable ?

high-level data product: gamma-ray excess-map - availability / conditions ?

 

extended source sensitivity = f(source size) public ? generally applicable ?

high-level data product: gamma-ray excess-map - format (root/fits) ?

 

energy resolution public? known dependencies ?

high-level data product: spectral fits - availability / conditions ?

 

angular resolution public ? known dependencies ?

high-level data product: spectral fits - data format (xspect/root/...) ?

 

timeline: observational history : which objectes ? when? eff. exposure? result published ?

high-level data product: spectral fits - data format (xspect/root/...) ?

 

schedules: which object ? when? when result will be made available ?
