Notes. In all cases, the first errors quoted are statistical and the second errors are systematic. Curved models are preferred for the results from analysis A, fitted in the energy ranges [0.133,91] TeV in the core region, [0.2, 91] TeV in the 0.8° radius, and for the shorter exposure analysis B in the energy range [0.14, 91] TeV. The fit results from Aharonian et al. (2006b) are also provided for comparison.
