Flare Analysis Summary of the present status AgustínSánchezLosa 27-Jul-2011
Flare Analysis • Light curve denoising algorithm established: • Method of Scargle’s likelihood adapted to 2CP and with fixed Scargle’s prior (as presented in Moscow) • Flare periods (time PDFs, thresholds, etc) determined by the type of analysis • Analysis plan established: • Period interval fixed: 1000 days from 54710 to 55710 MJD (Sep’08-Jun’11) • 4 different analysis types: 27-Jul-2011 AgustínSánchezLosa
Flare Analysis • Analysis types: • Individual flare analysis: • Only very significant flares • Low post-trial factor (proportional to the total number of flares) • Low number of events for discovery • 3 categories: • Blazars (GeV): Fermi, SWIFT,... • Blazars (TeV): HESS, MAGIC, VERITAS... • PWN (GeV): Fermi, SWIFT,... • Cumulative flare analysis: • Source by source • Post-trial factor equal to the number of studied sources • Selection of an adequate threshold • 1 category: • Blazars (GeV): Fermi, SWIFT,... • Untriggered analysis: search of clusters in time-space • Scanning analysis: event by event 27-Jul-2011 AgustínSánchezLosa

To Do List • Debug the “flare’s tail smooth selection” algorithm and any other minor thing • Implement a threshold criteria based in the fluence of a box, not in the flux intensity • Once the flares are manually fixed and chosen start analyzing 27-Jul-2011 AgustínSánchezLosa
