Figure 2: Crab flux in the 10-100 keV energy band ( upper panel) and spectral photon index ( lower panel) as a function of the coded fraction, as estimated with the mask-weighting technique using celestial Crab coordinates. The horizontal dotted lines represent the best fit to the constant model (see Table 3 for details). |

Figure 3: Dispersion of Crab detection coordinates around the nominal source position (red cross). The coordinate dispersion is not perfectly centered on the Crab nominal position. Probably this is related to systematic image centroid shifts as a function of the position in the FOV (see BAT Digest pages), as well as to the distribution of the Crab detector coordinates in our dataset. |

Figure 5:
Flux difference using detection coordinates and nominal coordinates as a function of coordinate difference. Black squares represent the rows for which Crab
was located at a coded fraction greater than 0.1, whereas red
crosses are those for which the coded fraction was smaller than or equal
to 0.1. The use of detection coordinates induces a
slight source flux overestimate which can be quantified as

Figure 7: Left panels: zooms of three parts of the GRO J1655-40 outburst as seen by BAT (blue) and HEXTE (red) (symbols as in Fig. 6). The right panels represent the PCA count rate and hardness ratio as obtained from the (http://tahti.mit.edu/opensource/1655/) web site. The green box highlights the time span covered in the left panels. |
