Examples

Here’s an example you can use to learn about this class:

>>> from gammapy.irf import EffectiveAreaTable2D
>>> filename = '$GAMMAPY_DATA/cta-1dc/caldb/data/cta/1dc/bcf/South_z20_50h/irf_file.fits'
>>> aeff = EffectiveAreaTable2D.read(filename, hdu='EFFECTIVE AREA')
>>> print(aeff)
EffectiveAreaTable2D
--------------------

  axes  : ['energy_true', 'offset']
  shape : (42, 6)
  ndim  : 2
  unit  : m2
  dtype : >f4

Here’s another one, created from scratch, without reading a file:

>>> from gammapy.irf import EffectiveAreaTable2D
>>> from gammapy.maps import MapAxis
>>> energy_axis_true = MapAxis.from_energy_bounds("0.1 TeV", "100 TeV", nbin=30, name="energy_true")
>>> offset_axis = MapAxis.from_bounds(0, 5, nbin=4, name="offset")
>>> aeff = EffectiveAreaTable2D(axes=[energy_axis_true, offset_axis], data=1e10, unit="cm2")
>>> print(aeff)
EffectiveAreaTable2D

  axes  : ['energy_true', 'offset']
