Astrophysical source models (gammapy.astro.source)

Introduction

The gammapy.astro.source module contains classes of source models, which can be used for population synthesis of galactic gamma-ray sources.

Getting started

TODO: add basic example.

Using gammapy.astro.source

The following source models are available:

• Supernova Remnant Models
• Pulsar Wind Nebula Source Models
• Pulsar Source Models

Classes

PWN([pulsar, snr, eta_e, eta_B, morphology, age])	Simple pulsar wind nebula (PWN) evolution model.
Pulsar([P_0, B, n, I, R, age, L_0])	Magnetic dipole spin-down pulsar model.
SNR([e_sn, theta, n_ISM, m_ejecta, t_stop, …])	Simple supernova remnant (SNR) evolution model.
SNRTrueloveMcKee(*args, **kwargs)	SNR model according to Truelove & McKee (1999).
SimplePulsar(P, P_dot[, I, R])	Magnetic dipole spin-down model for a pulsar.
