TemplateSpectralModel¶

class gammapy.modeling.models.TemplateSpectralModel(energy, values, interp_kwargs=None, meta=None)[source]¶

Bases: gammapy.modeling.models.SpectralModel

A model generated from a table of energy and value arrays.

For more information see Template Spectral Model.

Parameters

energyQuantity: Array of energies at which the model values are given
valuesarray: Array with the values of the model at energies energy.
interp_kwargsdict: Interpolation keyword arguments pass to scipy.interpolate.interp1d. By default all values outside the interpolation range are set to zero. If you want to apply linear extrapolation you can pass interp_kwargs={'fill_value': 'extrapolate', 'kind': 'linear'}. If you want to choose the interpolation scaling applied to values, you can use interp_kwargs={"values_scale": "log"}.
metadict, optional: Meta information, meta[‘filename’] will be used for serialization

classmethod from_dict(data)[source]¶

classmethod from_parameters(parameters, **kwargs)¶

Create model from parameter list

Parameters

parametersParameters: Parameters for init

Returns

modelModel: Model instance

integral(energy_min, energy_max, **kwargs)¶

Integrate spectral model numerically if no analytical solution defined.

\[F(E_{min}, E_{max}) = \int_{E_{min}}^{E_{max}} \phi(E) dE\]

Parameters

energy_min, energy_maxQuantity: Lower and upper bound of integration range.
**kwargsdict: Keyword arguments passed to integrate_spectrum()

energy_min, energy_maxQuantity: Lower and upper bound of integration range.

Returns

inverse(value, energy_min=<Quantity 0.1 TeV>, energy_max=<Quantity 100. TeV>)¶

Return energy for a given function value of the spectral model.

Calls the scipy.optimize.brentq numerical root finding method.

Parameters

valueQuantity: Function value of the spectral model.
energy_minQuantity: Lower bracket value in case solution is not unique.
energy_maxQuantity: Upper bracket value in case solution is not unique.

Returns

energyQuantity: Energies at which the model has the given value.

plot(energy_range, ax=None, energy_unit='TeV', flux_unit='cm-2 s-1 TeV-1', energy_power=0, n_points=100, **kwargs)¶

Plot spectral model curve.

kwargs are forwarded to matplotlib.pyplot.plot

By default a log-log scaling of the axes is used, if you want to change the y axis scaling to linear you can use:

from gammapy.modeling.models import ExpCutoffPowerLawSpectralModel
from astropy import units as u

pwl = ExpCutoffPowerLawSpectralModel()
ax = pwl.plot(energy_range=(0.1, 100) * u.TeV)
ax.set_yscale('linear')

Parameters

axAxes, optional: Axis
energy_rangeQuantity: Plot range
energy_unitstr, Unit, optional: Unit of the energy axis
flux_unitstr, Unit, optional: Unit of the flux axis
energy_powerint, optional: Power of energy to multiply flux axis with
n_pointsint, optional: Number of evaluation nodes

Returns

axAxes, optional: Axis

plot_error(energy_range, ax=None, energy_unit='TeV', flux_unit='cm-2 s-1 TeV-1', energy_power=0, n_points=100, **kwargs)¶

Plot spectral model error band.

Note

This method calls ax.set_yscale("log", nonposy='clip') and ax.set_xscale("log", nonposx='clip') to create a log-log representation. The additional argument nonposx='clip' avoids artefacts in the plot, when the error band extends to negative values (see also https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/8623).

When you call plt.loglog() or plt.semilogy() explicitely in your plotting code and the error band extends to negative values, it is not shown correctly. To circumvent this issue also use plt.loglog(nonposx='clip', nonposy='clip') or plt.semilogy(nonposy='clip').

Parameters

axAxes, optional: Axis
energy_rangeQuantity: Plot range
energy_unitstr, Unit, optional: Unit of the energy axis
flux_unitstr, Unit, optional: Unit of the flux axis
energy_powerint, optional: Power of energy to multiply flux axis with
n_pointsint, optional: Number of evaluation nodes
**kwargsdict: Keyword arguments forwarded to matplotlib.pyplot.fill_between

Returns

axAxes, optional: Axis
