Caveats

If the answer to any of the following is "yes," you should investigate further before accepting the light curves. See the documentation for details.

1. Is Γ discontinuous between BAT and XRT?
2. Is the BAT spectral fit a cut-off power law?
3. Are the Γ values extreme?
4. Are the errors on Γ/CF large?
5. Do all the BAT or XRT bins have identically Γ/CF bins?

Close.
