Source catalogs

gammapy.catalog provides convenient access to common gamma-ray source catalogs. This module is mostly independent from the rest of Gammapy. Typically you use it to compare new analyses against catalog results, e.g. overplot the spectral model, or compare the source position.

Moreover as creating a source model and flux points for a given catalog from the FITS table is tedious, gammapy.catalog has this already implemented. So you can create initial source models for your analyses. This is very common for Fermi-LAT, to start with a catalog model. For TeV analysis, especially in crowded Galactic regions, using the HGPS, gamma-cat or 2HWC catalog in this way can also be useful.

In this tutorial you will learn how to:

  • List available catalogs

  • Load a catalog

  • Access the source catalog table data

  • Select a catalog subset or a single source

  • Get source spectral and spatial models

  • Get flux points (if available)

  • Get lightcurves (if available)

  • Access the source catalog table data

  • Pretty-print the source information

In this tutorial we will show examples using the following catalogs:

All catalog and source classes work the same, as long as some information is available. E.g. trying to access a lightcurve from a catalog and source that doesn’t have that information will return None.

Further information is available at gammapy.catalog.

List available catalogs

gammapy.catalog contains a catalog registry CATALOG_REGISTRY, which maps catalog names (e.g. “3fhl”) to catalog classes (e.g. SourceCatalog3FHL).

[2]:
CATALOG_REGISTRY
[2]:
[gammapy.catalog.gammacat.SourceCatalogGammaCat,
 gammapy.catalog.hess.SourceCatalogHGPS,
 gammapy.catalog.hawc.SourceCatalog2HWC,
 gammapy.catalog.fermi.SourceCatalog3FGL,
 gammapy.catalog.fermi.SourceCatalog4FGL,
 gammapy.catalog.fermi.SourceCatalog2FHL,
 gammapy.catalog.fermi.SourceCatalog3FHL,
 gammapy.catalog.hawc.SourceCatalog3HWC]

Load catalogs

If you have run gammapy download datasets or gammapy download tutorials, you have a copy of the catalogs as FITS files in $GAMMAPY_DATA/catalogs, and that is the default location where gammapy.catalog loads from.

[3]:
!ls -1 $GAMMAPY_DATA/catalogs
2HWC.ecsv
2HWC.yaml
3HWC.ecsv
3HWC.yaml
README.rst
fermi
gammacat
hgps_catalog_v1.fits.gz
make_2hwc.py
make_3hwc.py
[4]:
!ls -1 $GAMMAPY_DATA/catalogs/fermi

gll_psc_v27.fit.gz
gll_psch_v08.fit.gz
gll_psch_v09.fit.gz
gll_psch_v13.fit.gz

So a catalog can be loaded directly from its corresponding class

[5]:
from gammapy.catalog import SourceCatalog4FGL

catalog = SourceCatalog4FGL()
print("Number of sources :", len(catalog.table))
Number of sources : 5788

Note that it loads the default catalog from $GAMMAPY_DATA/catalogs, you could pass a different filename when creating the catalog. For example here we load an older version of 4FGL catalog:

[6]:
catalog = SourceCatalog4FGL("$GAMMAPY_DATA/catalogs/fermi/gll_psc_v20.fit.gz")
print("Number of sources :", len(catalog.table))
Number of sources : 5066

Alternatively you can load a catalog by name via CATALOG_REGISTRY.get_cls(name)() (note the () to instantiate a catalog object from the catalog class - only this will load the catalog and be useful), or by importing the catalog class (e.g. SourceCatalog3FGL) directly. The two ways are equivalent, the result will be the same.

[7]:
# FITS file is loaded
catalog = CATALOG_REGISTRY.get_cls("3fgl")()
catalog
[7]:
<gammapy.catalog.fermi.SourceCatalog3FGL at 0x1283dc070>
[8]:
# Let's load the source catalogs we will use throughout this tutorial
catalog_gammacat = CATALOG_REGISTRY.get_cls("gamma-cat")()
catalog_3fhl = CATALOG_REGISTRY.get_cls("3fhl")()
catalog_4fgl = CATALOG_REGISTRY.get_cls("4fgl")()
catalog_hgps = CATALOG_REGISTRY.get_cls("hgps")()

Catalog table

Source catalogs are given as FITS files that contain one or multiple tables.

However, you can also access the underlying astropy.table.Table for a catalog, and the row data as a Python dict. This can be useful if you want to do something that is not pre-scripted by the gammapy.catalog classes, such as e.g. selecting sources by sky position or association class, or accessing special source information.

[9]:
type(catalog_3fhl.table)
[9]:
astropy.table.table.Table
[10]:
len(catalog_3fhl.table)
[10]:
1556
[11]:
catalog_3fhl.table[:3][["Source_Name", "RAJ2000", "DEJ2000"]]

Note that the catalogs object include a helper property that gives directly the sources positions as a SkyCoord object (we will show an usage example in the following).

[12]:
catalog_3fhl.positions[:3]
[12]:

     (0.52826166, -67.48248  )]>

Source object

Select a source

The catalog entries for a single source are represented by a SourceCatalogObject. In order to select a source object index into the catalog using [], with a catalog table row index (zero-based, first row is [0]), or a source name. If a name is given, catalog table columns with source names and association names (“ASSOC1” in the example below) are searched top to bottom. There is no name resolution web query.

[13]:
source = catalog_4fgl[49]
source
[13]:
<gammapy.catalog.fermi.SourceCatalogObject4FGL at 0x1283e46a0>
[14]:
source.row_index, source.name
[14]:
(49, '4FGL J0010.8-2154')
[15]:
source = catalog_4fgl["4FGL J0010.8-2154"]
source.row_index, source.name
[15]:
(49, '4FGL J0010.8-2154')
[16]:
source.data["ASSOC1"]
[16]:
'PKS 0008-222                '

source = catalog_4fgl["PKS 0008-222"]
source.row_index, source.name
[17]:
(49, '4FGL J0010.8-2154')

Note that you can also do a for source in catalog loop, to find or process sources of interest.

Source information

The source objects have a data property that contains the information of the catalog row corresponding to the source.

[18]:
source.data["Npred"]
[18]:
276.04663
[19]:
source.data["GLON"], source.data["GLAT"]
[19]:
(<Quantity 60.28118 deg>, <Quantity -79.400505 deg>)

As for the catalog object, the source object has a position property.

[20]:
source.position.galactic
[20]:
<SkyCoord (Galactic): (l, b) in deg
    (60.28120079, -79.40051035)>

Select a catalog subset

The catalog objects support selection using boolean arrays (of the same length), so one can create a new catalog as a subset of the main catalog that verify a set of conditions.

In the next example we selection only few of the brightest sources brightest sources in the 100 to 200 GeV energy band.

[21]:
mask_bright = np.zeros(len(catalog_3fhl.table), dtype=bool)
for k, source in enumerate(catalog_3fhl):
    flux = (
        source.spectral_model()
        .integral(100 * u.GeV, 200 * u.GeV)
        .to("cm-2 s-1")
    )
    if flux > 1e-10 * u.Unit("cm-2 s-1"):
        mask_bright[k] = True
        print(f"{source.row_index:<7d} {source.name:20s} {flux:.3g}")

[22]:
catalog_3fhl_bright = catalog_3fhl[mask_bright]
catalog_3fhl_bright
[22]:
<gammapy.catalog.fermi.SourceCatalog3FHL at 0x1283ee460>
[23]:

3FHL J1653.8+3945
3FHL J1824.5-1351e
3FHL J2028.6+4110e

Similarly we can select only sources within a region of interest. Here for example we use the position property of the catalog object to select sources whitin 5 degrees from “PKS 0008-222”:

[24]:
source = catalog_4fgl["PKS 0008-222"]
mask_roi = source.position.separation(catalog_4fgl.positions) < 5 * u.deg
[25]:
catalog_4fgl_roi = catalog_4fgl[mask_roi]
print("Number of sources :", len(catalog_4fgl_roi.table))
Number of sources : 11

Source models

The gammapy.catalog.SourceCatalogObject classes have a sky_model() model which creates a gammapy.modeling.models.SkyModel object, with model parameter values and parameter errors from the catalog filled in.

In most cases, the spectral_model() method provides the gammapy.modeling.models.SpectralModel part of the sky model, and the spatial_model() method the gammapy.modeling.models.SpatialModel part individually.

We use the gammapy.catalog.SourceCatalog3FHL for the examples in this section.

[26]:
source = catalog_4fgl["PKS 2155-304"]
[27]:
model = source.sky_model()

You can create initial source models for your analyses using the .to_models() method of the catalog objects. Here for example we create a Models object from the 4FGL catalog subset we previously defined:

[32]:
models_4fgl_roi = catalog_4fgl_roi.to_models()
models_4fgl_roi
[32]:
<gammapy.modeling.models.core.Models at 0x12872b940>

Specificities of the HGPS catalog

Using the .to_models() method for the gammapy.catalog.SourceCatalogHGPS will return only the models components of the sources retained in the main catalog, several candidate objects appears only in the Gaussian components table (see section 4.9 of the HGPS paper, https://arxiv.org/abs/1804.02432). To access these components you can do the following:

[33]:
discarded_ind = np.where(
    [
        "Discarded" in _
        for _ in catalog_hgps.table_components["Component_Class"]
    ]
)[0]
discarded_table = catalog_hgps.table_components[discarded_ind]

There is no spectral model available for these components but you can access their spatial models:

[34]:
discarded_spatial = [
    catalog_hgps.gaussian_component(idx).spatial_model()
    for idx in discarded_ind
]

In addition to the source components the HGPS catalog include a large scale diffuse component built by fitting a gaussian model in a sliding window along the Galactic plane. Information on this model can be accessed via the propoerties .table_large_scale_component and .large_scale_component of gammapy.catalog.SourceCatalogHGPS.

[35]:
# here we show the 5 first elements of the table
