class gammapy.background.ReflectedRegionsBackgroundEstimator(on_region, observations, binsz=<Quantity 0.01 deg>, **kwargs)

Bases: object

For a usage example see spectrum_analysis.html

Parameters:

on_region : SkyRegion

Target region with any shape, except PolygonSkyRegion

observations : Observations

Observations to process

binsz : Angle

Optional, bin size of the maps used to compute the regions, Default ‘0.01 deg’

kwargs : dict
