1. Sensitivity curves are produced on data obtained either from the official web sites or conference presentations on the instrument or from the instrument headquarter. Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes traditionally use sensitivity for flux above E. The differential sensitivity curves given here has been calculated assuming a Crab-like spectrum. Note most curves are read out by eye of plots given below and can be off by 20-30%. • AstroE2-HXD (SiPIN+GSO): H. Soojing http://eaya2003.asiaa.sinica.edu.tw/pdf/hong-sj.pdf,

5. EGRET: Since there is no official sensitivity curve available, the author calculated based on the Crab observation (see the text). So admittedly not official and may lack accuracy.
