The common meaning is that livetime is dead-time fraction corrected, and is a bit shorter (typically ~ 5%) than the "on" or "observation time. Probably for the lightcurves this is never what is given in the paper, but the "on" or "observation" or "duration" is given?
We currently have a
livetime
column in a few of our LC files:https://github.com/gammapy/gamma-cat/blob/master/input/schemas/lightcurve-format.md

So I'd like to propose a rename of that column from
livetime
totime_on
, which matches theONTIME
header key of the event list (see http://gamma-astro-data-formats.readthedocs.io/).@GernotMaier or @wegenmat - OK?
