The upper limit of the source flux range for which photometric accuracy is required is approximately 8 x 10-7 erg cm-2 s-1.

For the X-ray Telescope (XRT), this accuracy should be within 10% or better.

The sensitivity limit of the XRT is 2 x 10-14 erg cm-2 s-1, which is the faintest source flux it can detect.

This upper limit corresponds to a brightness that is about two times greater than the brightest X-ray burst observed to date.
