Examples

This example shows how to compute a counts profile for the Fermi galactic center region:

from astropy import units as u
from astropy.coordinates import SkyCoord
from gammapy.data import GTI
from gammapy.estimators import FluxProfileEstimator
from gammapy.utils.regions import make_orthogonal_rectangle_sky_regions
from gammapy.datasets import MapDataset
from gammapy.maps import RegionGeom

# load example data
dataset = MapDataset.read("$GAMMAPY_DATA/fermi-3fhl-gc/fermi-3fhl-gc.fits.gz", name="fermi_dataset")

# configuration
dataset.gti = GTI.create("0s", "1e7s", "2010-01-01")

# creation of the boxes and axis
start_pos = SkyCoord("-1d", "0d", frame='galactic')
end_pos = SkyCoord("1d", "0d", frame='galactic')

regions = make_orthogonal_rectangle_sky_regions(
    start_pos=start_pos,
    end_pos=end_pos,
    wcs=dataset.counts.geom.wcs,
    height=2.*u.deg,
    nbin=21
)

# set up profile estimator and run
prof_maker = FluxProfileEstimator(
    regions=regions, energy_edges=[10, 2000] * u.GeV,
)
fermi_prof = prof_maker.run(dataset)

print(fermi_prof)
