Table 2

Differences between the four hypothetical cases, noting what their respective deviations are from the reference case (which uses parameters from Table 1).


For all cases

Parameter Symbol Value
Maximum time resolution (t.r.) nexp; texp (s) 186; 132
Maximum t.r. total observation tobs (h) 6.82
Minimum t.r. nexp; texp (s) 9; 2998
Minimum t.r. total observation tobs (h) 7.50

Reference case
