Observational settings/limits
- original criteria to observe Ton 599
we request 50 hours of observations unless the average integral photon flux (>100 MeV) goes down below 0.5×10−6 cm−2 s−1
It seems the gamma-ray spectrum of Ton 599 is sometimes hard (<2.0) (especially since April) and variable. So even when integral photon flux above 100 MeV is below the original limit (0.5x10-6 cm-2 s-1), there is a possibility to detect this source. When the spectrum is hard enough (e.g. April 23, 2023), it is detectable for a short observation. Thus, we want to request to schedule short exposure observations (1-1.5 hours) for monitoring purposes, rather than longer exposure for less nights, when this source can be scheduled (=no collision with other higher priority tasks/sources).
