TemplateSpectralModel#

class gammapy.modeling.models.TemplateSpectralModel(energy, values, interp_kwargs=None, meta=None)[source]#

Bases: gammapy.modeling.models.spectral.SpectralModel

A model generated from a table of energy and value arrays.

For more information see Template spectral model.

Parameters

energyQuantity: Array of energies at which the model values are given
valuesarray: Array with the values of the model at energies energy.
interp_kwargsdict: Interpolation keyword arguments passed to scipy.interpolate.RegularGridInterpolator. By default all values outside the interpolation range are set to zero. If you want to apply linear extrapolation you can pass interp_kwargs={'fill_value': 'extrapolate', 'kind': 'linear'}. If you want to choose the interpolation scaling applied to values, you can use interp_kwargs={"values_scale": "log"}.
metadict, optional: Meta information, meta[‘filename’] will be used for serialization

covariance#

default_parameters = <gammapy.modeling.parameter.Parameters object>#

frozen#: Frozen status of a model, True if all parameters are frozen

is_norm_spectral_model#: Whether model is a norm spectral model

norm#

A model parameter.

Note that the parameter value has been split into a factor and scale like this:

value = factor x scale

Users should interact with the value, quantity or min and max properties and consider the fact that there is a factor` and scale an implementation detail.

That was introduced for numerical stability in parameter and error estimation methods, only in the Gammapy optimiser interface do we interact with the factor, factor_min and factor_max properties, i.e. the optimiser “sees” the well-scaled problem.

plot(energy_bounds, ax=None, sed_type='dnde', energy_power=0, n_points=100, **kwargs)#

Plot spectral model curve.

kwargs are forwarded to matplotlib.pyplot.plot

By default a log-log scaling of the axes is used, if you want to change the y axis scaling to linear you can use:

from gammapy.modeling.models import ExpCutoffPowerLawSpectralModel
from astropy import units as u

pwl = ExpCutoffPowerLawSpectralModel()
ax = pwl.plot(energy_bounds=(0.1, 100) * u.TeV)
ax.set_yscale('linear')

Parameters

axAxes, optional: Axis
energy_boundsQuantity: Plot energy bounds passed to MapAxis.from_energy_bounds
sed_type{“dnde”, “flux”, “eflux”, “e2dnde”}: Evaluation methods of the model
energy_powerint, optional: Power of energy to multiply flux axis with
n_pointsint, optional: Number of evaluation nodes
**kwargsdict: Keyword arguments forwarded to plot

Returns

axAxes, optional: Axis

plot_error(energy_bounds, ax=None, sed_type='dnde', energy_power=0, n_points=100, **kwargs)#

Plot spectral model error band.

Note

This method calls ax.set_yscale("log", nonpositive='clip') and ax.set_xscale("log", nonposx='clip') to create a log-log representation. The additional argument nonposx='clip' avoids artefacts in the plot, when the error band extends to negative values (see also https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/8623).

When you call plt.loglog() or plt.semilogy() explicitly in your plotting code and the error band extends to negative values, it is not shown correctly. To circumvent this issue also use plt.loglog(nonposx='clip', nonpositive='clip') or plt.semilogy(nonpositive='clip').

Parameters

axAxes, optional: Axis
energy_boundsQuantity: Plot energy bounds passed to MapAxis.from_energy_bounds
sed_type{“dnde”, “flux”, “eflux”, “e2dnde”}: Evaluation methods of the model
energy_powerint, optional: Power of energy to multiply flux axis with
n_pointsint, optional: Number of evaluation nodes
**kwargsdict: Keyword arguments forwarded to matplotlib.pyplot.fill_between
