Resumen:
The hybrid exposure for events observed by the fluorescence telescopes in coincidence with at least one water-Cherenkov detector has been determined. The hybrid detection mode combines the information from SD and FD systems reducing reconstruction uncertainties. Detailed knowledge of the time dependence of the detection operations is crucial for an accurate evaluation of the exposure. A set of quality criteria has been developed in order to have exposure estimate as free as possible of systematics. The effect of the cuts has been cross-checked by comparing the data and Monte Carlo distributions.
