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 also 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
- Dates of data-taking:

- ZD range (deg): 0 - 35 deg
- AZ range (deg): 90 - 270 deg
- Transmission at 9 km: See corresponding values in the ELOG entries. We do not use it for data selection. Instead we apply selection cuts based on rates (see above).
- Joint observations with MAGIC? : No
Monte Carlo information
- Link to MC files used:
- Particle types:
- ZD (deg): Zenith Range
