The relative difference between the background counts in two off-source regions at the same distance from the center of the field of view (0.4 deg), and equidistant from the OP313 location is 0.31% ± 0.14% (counts in the OFF region at 90 deg: 487702 ± 698, and in the OFF region at 270 deg: 486203 ± 697). Therefore we tested the effect that a factor ±0.5% in the background normalization has in the SED calculation (see best-fit model spectral parameters calculated after considering the change in background normalization for source-independent analysis, assuming PWL+EBL Saldana-Lopez 2021 model).

LST analysis OP313 Dec 2023 and Jan 2024[edit]

Wiki page with general information on all results for the paper: December_January_paper

LST-1 analyzers:

  • Seiya Nozaki (MPP)
  • Jorge Otero-Santos (IAA-CSIC)
  • Mireia Nievas-Rosillo (IAC)
  • Daniel Morcuende (IAA-CSIC)

Links to presentation of the LST-1 analysis in several analysis and OP313 meetings[edit]

Data-taking information[edit]

  • NSB level: all data was taken in dark NSB conditions
  • Zenith angles: 5-54 deg (December 2023 data have zenith angle > 30 deg)

Good-quality selected dataset[edit]

The list of data runs below was obtained using the notebook https://github.com/cta-observatory/cta-lstchain/blob/main/notebooks/data_quality.ipynb.

We used default settings, but min_drdi_at_422pe = 1.2 instead of the default 1.5 to recover 1.7 h from January 2024 where low statistics limit us. Still, the data selected have a relative light yield above ~80%.

Also, short data runs (< 5 min) were excluded, because usually short runs are a symptom of problems during data acquisition.

Test the effect of a +/-15% shift on a possible bias on the absolute energy scale between simulations and observed data. This is the typical value used in currents IACTs and also it was found by Federico Di Pierro et al. to be the energy scale mismatch between LST-1 and MAGIC.

This can be done at different analysis levels:

In the common GTI light curve there is one night (mjd 60296) in which MAGIC has a UL, and LST a point. And LST's excess is actually pretty high (TS = 18.0 +/- 4.2, vs TS=0.58+/-0.77 in MAGIC). Mismatch to be investigated.
