MapDataset

class gammapy.datasets.MapDataset(models=None, counts=None, exposure=None, background=None, psf=None, edisp=None, mask_safe=None, mask_fit=None, gti=None, meta_table=None, name=None)

Bases: gammapy.datasets.Dataset

Perform sky model likelihood fit on maps.

If an HDULocation is passed the map is loaded lazily. This means the map data is only loaded in memory as the corresponding data attribute on the MapDataset is accessed. If it was accessed once it is cached for the next time.

Parameters

countsWcsNDMap or HDULocation

Counts cube

exposureWcsNDMap or HDULocation

Exposure cube

backgroundWcsNDMap or HDULocation

Background cube

mask_fitWcsNDMap or HDULocation

Mask to apply to the likelihood for fitting.

psfPSFMap or HDULocation

PSF kernel

edispEDispKernel or EDispMap or HDULocation

Energy dispersion kernel

mask_safeWcsNDMap or HDULocation

Mask defining the safe data range.

gtiGTI

GTI of the observation or union of GTI if it is a stacked observation

stack(other, nan_to_num=True)

Stack another dataset in place.

Safe mask is applied to compute the stacked counts data. Counts outside each dataset safe mask are lost.

The stacking of 2 datasets is implemented as follows. Here, \(k\) denotes a bin in reconstructed energy and \(j = {1,2}\) is the dataset number

The mask_safe of each dataset is defined as:

\[\begin{split}\epsilon_{jk} =\left\{\begin{array}{cl} 1, & \mbox{if bin k is inside the thresholds}\\ 0, & \mbox{otherwise} \end{array}\right.\end{split}\]

Then the total counts and model background bkg are computed according to:

\[ \begin{align}\begin{aligned}\overline{\mathrm{n_{on}}}_k = \mathrm{n_{on}}_{1k} \cdot \epsilon_{1k} + \mathrm{n_{on}}_{2k} \cdot \epsilon_{2k}\\\overline{bkg}_k = bkg_{1k} \cdot \epsilon_{1k} + bkg_{2k} \cdot \epsilon_{2k}\end{aligned}\end{align} \]

The stacked safe_mask is then:

\[\overline{\epsilon_k} = \epsilon_{1k} OR \epsilon_{2k}\]
