Spectrum Analysis
The differential flux per area, time and energy interval is defined as
Often is also referred to as as observation time and effective collection area is a constant. The effective area is then defined as . Note that at large distances the efficiency vanishes, so that the effective area is an (energy dependent) constant while and the efficiency are mutually dependent.
For an observation with an effective observation time , this yields:
The total area and the corresponding efficiency are of course only available for simulated data. For simulated data, is the production area and the corresponding energy dependent efficiency of the analysis chain.
