I discovered this bug investigating a request to the Fermi helpdesk (number 3694).
Circa 2018 the keyword EVT_DEAD and EVTDEDHI went respectively from 2.6E-6 and 1.04170E-5 to 2.6D-6 and 1.04170D-5, i.e., from single precision to double precision floating point.
This trips gtbin into computing the exposure wrong.
This happens in the lines linked above for PHA2 spectra, but I think it is more general about the way keywords are read (probably assuming single precision floating point).
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
