SpectrumObservationStacker

class gammapy.spectrum.SpectrumObservationStacker(obs_list)

Bases: object

Stack observations in a SpectrumObservationList.

The stacking of \(j\) observations is implemented as follows. \(k\) and \(l\) denote a bin in reconstructed and true energy, respectively.

\[ \begin{align}\begin{aligned}\begin{split}\epsilon_{jk} =\left\{\begin{array}{cl} 1, & \mbox{if bin k is inside the energy thresholds}\\ 0, & \mbox{otherwise} \end{array}\right.\end{split}\\\overline{\mathrm{n_{on}}}_k = \sum_{j} \mathrm{n_{on}}_{jk} \cdot \epsilon_{jk}\\\overline{\mathrm{n_{off}}}_k = \sum_{j} \mathrm{n_{off}}_{jk} \cdot \epsilon_{jk}\\\overline{\alpha}_k = \frac{\overline{{b_{on}}}_k}{\overline{{b_{off}}}_k}\\\overline{{b}_{on}}_k = 1\\\overline{{b}_{off}}_k = \frac{1}{\sum_{j}\alpha_{jk} \cdot \mathrm{n_{off}}_{jk} \cdot \epsilon_{jk}} \cdot \overline{\mathrm {n_{off}}}\end{aligned}\end{align} \]

Please refer to the IRFStacker for the description of how the IRFs are stacked.

Methods Documentation

run()

Run all steps in the correct order.

setup_counts_vectors()

Add correct attributes to stacked counts vectors.

stack_aeff()

Stack effective areas (weighted by livetime).

Calls gammapy.irf.IRFStacker.stack_aeff.

stack_backscal()

Stack backscal for on and off vector.

static stack_counts_spectrum(counts_spectrum_list)

Stack PHACountsSpectrum.

• Bins outside the safe energy range are set to 0
• Attributes are set to None.
• The quality vector of the observations are combined with a logical or, such that the low (high) threshold of the stacked obs is the minimum low (maximum high) threshold of the observation list to be stacked.

stack_counts_vectors()

Stack on and off vectors.

stack_edisp()

Stack energy dispersion (weighted by exposure).

Calls stack_edisp

stack_obs()

Create stacked SpectrumObservation

stack_off_vector()

Stack the off count vector.

stack_on_vector()

Stack the on count vector.
