CountsSpectrum¶

class gammapy.spectrum.CountsSpectrum(energy_lo, energy_hi, data=None, interp_kwargs=None)[source]¶

Bases: object

Generic counts spectrum.

Parameters:

energy_lo : Quantity

Lower bin edges of energy axis

energy_hi : Quantity

Upper bin edges of energy axis

data : Quantity, array-like

Counts

Examples

from gammapy.spectrum import CountsSpectrum
import numpy as np
import astropy.units as u

ebounds = np.logspace(0,1,11) * u.TeV
data = np.arange(10) * u.ct
spec = CountsSpectrum(
    energy_lo=ebounds[:-1],
    energy_hi=ebounds[1:],
    data=data,
)
spec.plot(show_poisson_errors=True)

Attributes Documentation

default_interp_kwargs = {'method': 'nearest', 'bounds_error': False}¶: Default interpolation kwargs

energy¶

total_counts¶: Total number of counts

Methods Documentation

copy()[source]¶: A deep copy of self.

fill(events)[source]¶

Fill with list of events

TODO: Move to NDDataArray

Parameters:

events: `~astropy.units.Quantity`, `gammapy.data.EventList`,

List of event energies

classmethod from_hdulist(hdulist, hdu1='COUNTS', hdu2='EBOUNDS')[source]¶: Read OGIP format hdulist

peek(figsize=(5, 10))[source]¶: Quick-look summary plots.

plot(ax=None, energy_unit='TeV', show_poisson_errors=False, show_energy=None, **kwargs)[source]¶

Plot as datapoint

kwargs are forwarded to errorbar

Parameters:

ax : axis (optional)

Axis instance to be used for the plot

energy_unit : str, Unit, optional

Unit of the energy axis

show_poisson_errors : bool, optional

Show poisson errors on the plot

show_energy : Quantity, optional

Show energy, e.g. threshold, as vertical line

Returns:

ax: axis

Axis instance used for the plot

plot_hist(ax=None, energy_unit='TeV', show_energy=None, **kwargs)[source]¶

Plot as histogram

kwargs are forwarded to hist

Parameters:

ax : axis (optional)

Axis instance to be used for the plot

energy_unit : str, Unit, optional

Unit of the energy axis

show_energy : Quantity, optional

Show energy, e.g. threshold, as vertical line

classmethod read(filename, hdu1='COUNTS', hdu2='EBOUNDS', **kwargs)[source]¶

rebin(parameter)[source]¶

Rebin

Parameters:

parameter, int

Number of bins to merge

Returns:

rebinned_spectrum : CountsSpectrum

Rebinned spectrum

to_hdulist()[source]¶

Convert to HDUList

This adds an EBOUNDS extension to the BinTableHDU produced by to_table, in order to store the energy axis

to_table()[source]¶

Convert to Table.

Data format specification: PHA file

write(filename, **kwargs)[source]¶
