plot_residuals(self, method='diff', smooth_kernel='gauss', smooth_radius='0.1 deg', region=None, figsize=(12, 4), **kwargs)

Plot spatial and spectral residuals.

The spectral residuals are extracted from the provided region, and the normalization used for the residuals computation can be controlled using the method parameter. If no region is passed, only the spatial residuals are shown.

Parameters

smooth_kernel{‘gauss’, ‘box’}

Parameters

method: {“diff”, “diff/model”, “diff/sqrt(model)”}

Convert map dataset to list of HDUs.

Returns

hdulistHDUList

Map dataset list of HDUs.

to_image(self, spectrum=None)

Create images by summing over the energy axis.

Exposure is weighted with an assumed spectrum, resulting in a weighted mean exposure image.

Currently the PSFMap and EdispMap are dropped from the resulting image dataset.

Parameters

spectrumSpectralModel

Spectral model to compute the weights. Default is power-law with spectral index of 2.

Returns

datasetMapDataset

Map dataset containing images.

to_spectrum_dataset(self, on_region, containment_correction=False)

Return a ~gammapy.spectrum.SpectrumDataset from on_region.

Counts and background are summed in the on_region.

Effective area is taken from the average exposure divided by the livetime. Here we assume it is the sum of the GTIs.

EnergyDispersion is obtained at the on_region center. Only regions with centers are supported.

Parameters

on_regionSkyRegion

the input ON region on which to extract the spectrum

containment_correctionbool

Apply containment correction for point sources and circular on regions

Returns

datasetSpectrumDataset

write(self, filename, overwrite=False)

Write map dataset to file.

Parameters
