Monte Carlo information[edit]

  • All-sky MC production used: 20240131_allsky_v0.10.5_all_dec_base
    • Declination line (training): dec_931

Random forest[edit]

Source declination is 9.31 deg. The two closest MC declination tracks are 9.31 deg and 18.02 deg. Chose dec 9.31 deg as it is closer to the dec of the source at 12.32 deg.
