is_source_class(self, source_class)[source]

Check if source belongs to a given source class.

The classes are described in Table 3 of the 3FGL paper:

http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2015arXiv150102003T

Parameters:
source_class : str

Source class designator as defined in Table 3. There are a few extra selections available:

  • ‘ALL’: all identified objects
  • ‘all’: all objects with associations
  • ‘galactic’: all sources with an associated galactic object
  • ‘GALACTIC’: all identified galactic sources
  • ‘extra-galactic’: all sources with an associated extra-galactic object
  • ‘EXTRA-GALACTIC’: all identified extra-galactic sources
  • ‘unassociated’: all unassociated objects
Returns:
selection : ndarray

Selection mask.
row_index(self, name)

Look up row index of source by name.

Parameters:
name : str

Source name
Returns:
index : int

Row index of source in table
select_source_class(self, source_class)[source]

Select all sources of a given source class.

See SourceCatalog3FHL.is_source_class for further documentation

Parameters:
source_class : str

Source class designator.
Returns:
selection : SourceCatalog3FHL

Subset of the 3FHL catalog containing only the selected source class.
source_name(self, index)

Look up source name by row index.

Parameters:
index : int

Row index of source in table
