[ArXiv] Swift and XMM measurement errors, Sep. 8, 2007

From arxiv/astro-ph:0708.1208v1:
The measurement errors in the Swift-UVOT and XMM-OM by N.P.M. Kuin and S.R. Rosen

The probability distribution of photon counts from the Optical Monitor on XMM Newton satellite (XMM-OM) and the UVOT on the Swift satellite follows a binomial distribution due to detector characteristics. Incident count rate was derived as a function of the measured count rate, which was shown to follow a binomial distribution.
