Sensitivity for the flare detection of the photometric FAVA analysis (see Section 3 for details). These maps shows the minimum flux increase, in a one-week time bin, that corresponds to a FAVA significance greater than ﹩6\sigma ﹩ in one of the two FAVA energy bands or greater than ﹩4\sigma ﹩ in both energy bands simultaneously. The maps are computed assuming a power-law spectrum for the flaring source, the average weekly exposure, and for two reference values of the photon index Γ. Top panel: spectrally hard flares (﹩{\rm{\Gamma }}=1.5﹩), bottom: soft flares (﹩{\rm{\Gamma }}=3.5﹩). The maps are shown in Galactic coordinates and in Hammer–Aitoff projection.
