Description
The solid angle in GSkyRegionRectangle::compute_solid_angle
is currently computed using
m_solid = m_width * m_height * gammalib::deg2rad * gammalib::deg2rad;
which is not correct on the sphere. The correct formula ism_solid = m_width * gammalib::deg2rad * 2.0 * sin(0.5 * m_height * gammalib::deg2rad);
Recurrence
No recurrence.
