RingBackgroundEstimator

class gammapy.background.RingBackgroundEstimator(r_in, width, use_fft_convolution=False)[source]

Bases: object

Ring background method for cartesian coordinates.

  • Step 1: apply exclusion mask
  • Step 2: ring-correlate
  • Step 3: apply psi cut

TODO: add method to apply the psi cut

Parameters:
r_in : Quantity

Inner ring radius

width : Quantity

Ring width.

use_fft_convolution : bool

Use FFT convolution?

Examples

Example using RingBackgroundEstimator:

from gammapy.maps import Map
from gammapy.background import RingBackgroundEstimator

filename = '$GAMMAPY_DATA/tests/unbundled/poisson_stats_image/input_all.fits.gz'
images = {
    'counts': Map.read(filename, hdu='counts'),
    'exposure_on': Map.read(filename, hdu='exposure'),
    'exclusion': Map.read(filename, hdu='exclusion'),
}

ring_bkg = RingBackgroundEstimator(r_in='0.35 deg', width='0.3 deg')
results = ring_bkg.run(images)
results['background'].plot()
