  139 +The Npred computation has been improved in GCTAResponse for extended
  140 +sources so that Romberg integration convergence problems should no
  141 +longer occur. Integration will now be skipped for models that are too
  142 +far away from the ROI so that they can give any possible contribution.
  143 +Also, azimuthal model integration will be done over only the sector that
  144 +overlaps with the ROI+PSF radius. And finally, a simple Trapezoid rule
  145 +is used for small radial integration intervals in the PSF integration
  146 +(GCTAResponse::npsf).
