Data-taking information

• Data selection based on the notebook: https://github.com/cta-observatory/cta-lstchain/blob/master/notebooks/data_selection.ipynb
  • Excluded runs with issues in interleaved pedestals
  • Run selection based on "healthy intensity spectra", i.e., rate of cosmics with intensity between 80 and 120 p.e. larger than 800 events/s.
  • Runs taken in wobble mode. Selected wobble pointings at ~0.4 deg from the source [0.35, 0.45] deg

• Observation time: 35.94 hours
