astro - Astrophysics

Introduction

This module contains utility functions for some astrophysical scenarios:

• gammapy.astro.source for astrophysical source models

• gammapy.astro.population for astrophysical population models

• gammapy.astro.darkmatter for dark matter spatial and spectral models

The gammapy.astro sub-package is in a prototyping phase and its scope and future are currently being discussed. It is likely that some of the functionality will be removed or split out into a separate package at some point.

Getting started

The gammapy.astro namespace is empty. Use these import statements:

from gammapy.astro import source
from gammapy.astro import population
from gammapy.astro import darkmatter

Please refer to the Getting Started section of each module for a further introduction

Sub-packages

• Astrophysical source models (gammapy.astro.source)
• Astrophysical source population models (gammapy.astro.population)
• Dark matter (gammapy.astro.darkmatter)
