SourceCatalogHGPS

class gammapy.catalog.SourceCatalogHGPS(filename=None, hdu='HGPS_SOURCES')

Bases: gammapy.catalog.SourceCatalog

HESS Galactic plane survey (HGPS) source catalog.

Reference: https://www.mpi-hd.mpg.de/hfm/HESS/hgps/

One source is represented by SourceCatalogObjectHGPS.

An extensive tutorial is available here: hgps.html

Examples

Let’s assume you have downloaded the HGPS catalog FITS file, e.g. via:

curl -O https://www.mpi-hd.mpg.de/hfm/HESS/hgps/data/hgps_catalog_v1.fits.gz

Then you can load it up like this:

>>> from gammapy.catalog import SourceCatalogHGPS
>>> filename = 'hgps_catalog_v1.fits.gz'
>>> cat = SourceCatalogHGPS(filename)

Access a source by name:

>>> source = cat['HESS J1843-033']
>>> print(source)

Access source spectral data and plot it:

>>> source.spectral_model().plot(source.energy_range)
>>> source.spectral_model().plot_error(source.energy_range)
>>> source.flux_points.plot()

Gaussian component information can be accessed as well, either via the source, or via the catalog:

>>> source.components
>>> cat.gaussian_component(83)
