Source Notes:
Source position and its uncertainty:
From
Aliu et al. (2009):
- RA (J2000): 02 23 12
- Dec (J2000): +43 00 42
- positional uncertainty 0.048deg (private communication MAGIC Collaboration)
Source Association:
From
Aliu et al. (2009):
- both 3C66A and 3C66B were considered as candidates
for the origin of the gamma-ray emission. The excess measured
is closer to 3C66B than to 3C66A:
"The origin of the emission from 3C66A can be statistically
excluded with a probability of 95.6%. Adding linearly the
systematic uncertainty of the pointing of the data set (2')
i.e., shifting the excess position by 2′ toward the catalog
position of 3C66A, the exclusion probability is 85.4%."
