Attributes Documentation

aeff¶: Load effective area object.

bkg¶: Load background object.

edisp¶: Load energy dispersion object.

events¶: Load gammapy.data.EventList object and apply the filter.

fixed_pointing_info¶: Fixed pointing info for this observation (FixedPointingInfo).

gti¶: Load gammapy.data.GTI object and apply the filter.

muoneff¶: Observation muon efficiency.

obs_info¶: Observation information (OrderedDict).

observation_dead_time_fraction¶

Dead-time fraction (float).

Defined as dead-time over observation time.

Dead-time is defined as the time during the observation where the detector didn’t record events: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_time https://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2004APh….22..285F

The dead-time fraction is used in the live-time computation, which in turn is used in the exposure and flux computation.

observation_live_time_duration¶

Live-time duration in seconds (Quantity).

The dead-time-corrected observation time.

Computed as t_live = t_observation * (1 - f_dead) where f_dead is the dead-time fraction.

observation_time_duration¶

Observation time duration in seconds (Quantity).

The wall time, including dead-time.

observatory_earth_location¶: Observatory location (EarthLocation).

pointing_altaz¶: Pointing ALT / AZ sky coordinates (SkyCoord).

pointing_radec¶: Pointing RA / DEC sky coordinates (SkyCoord).

pointing_zen¶: Pointing zenith angle sky (Quantity).

psf¶: Load point spread function object.

target_radec¶: Target RA / DEC sky coordinates (SkyCoord).

tstart¶: Observation start time (Time).

tstop¶: Observation stop time (Time).

Methods Documentation

check(self, checks='all')[source]¶

Run checks.

This is a generator that yields a list of dicts.

load(self, hdu_type=None, hdu_class=None)[source]¶

Load data file as appropriate object.

Parameters:	hdu_type : str HDU type (see `VALID_HDU_TYPE`) hdu_class : str HDU class (see `VALID_HDU_CLASS`)
Returns:	object : object Object depends on type, e.g. for `events` it’s a `EventList`.

location(self, hdu_type=None, hdu_class=None)[source]¶

HDU location object.

Parameters:	hdu_type : str HDU type (see `VALID_HDU_TYPE`) hdu_class : str HDU class (see `VALID_HDU_CLASS`)
Returns:	location : `HDULocation` HDU location

peek(self)[source]¶: Quick-look plots in a few panels.

select_time(self, time_interval)[source]¶

Select a time interval of the observation.

Parameters:	time_interval : `astropy.time.Time` Start and stop time of the selected time interval. For now we only support a single time interval.
Returns:	new_obs : `DataStoreObservation` A new observation instance of the specified time interval
