    • Runs:

'2024-03-10': [17018, 17019, 17020, 17021, 17022, 17023]

• Data taken with a missing module in the camera. The event source plugin of the analysis chain had to be adapted to process the data. Still, it seems the data is problematic because the event type identification is wrong for some runs. As can be seen in the DL1 data checks (https://www.lst1.iac.es/datacheck/dl1/v0.10/20240310/DL1_datacheck_20240310.html). So probably, after all these data cannot be used.

• Joint observations with MAGIC? : No

General analysis information

DL1 data

LSTOSA standard production (v0.10/tailcut84) of DL1b run-wise merged files.

Random forest

Source declination is 12.3 deg. Two closest MC declination tracks are 9.31 deg and 22.76 deg. To avoid problems with a declination track with lower culmination than that of the data. I choose the 22.76 deg MC declination path which is the closest one to the source towards La Palma latitude value (28.8 deg)
