2D map fitting#

Prerequisites#

  • To understand how a generel modelling and fiiting works in gammapy, please refer to the analysis_3d tutorial

Context#

We often want the determine the position and morphology of an object. To do so, we don’t necessarily have to resort to a full 3D fitting but can perform a simple image fitting, in particular, in an energy range where the PSF does not vary strongly, or if we want to explore a possible energy dependence of the morphology.

Objective#

To localize a source and/or constrain its morphology.

Proposed approach#

The first step here, as in most analysis with DL3 data, is to create reduced datasets. For this, we will use the Analysis class to create a single set of stacked maps with a single bin in energy (thus, an image which behaves as a cube). This, we will then model with a spatial model of our choice, while keeping the spectral model fixed to an integrated power law.

Setup#

As usual, we’ll start with some general imports…

[1]:
%matplotlib inline
import astropy.units as u
from astropy.coordinates import SkyCoord
from astropy.time import Time

import logging

log = logging.getLogger(__name__)

Now let’s import gammapy specific classes and functions

[2]:
from gammapy.analysis import Analysis, AnalysisConfig

Creating the config file#

Now, we create a config file for out analysis. You may load this from disc if you have a pre-defined config file.

Here, we use 3 simulated CTA runs of the galactic center.

[3]:
config = AnalysisConfig()
# Selecting the observations
config.observations.datastore = "$GAMMAPY_DATA/cta-1dc/index/gps/"
config.observations.obs_ids = [110380, 111140, 111159]

Technically, gammapy implements 2D analysis as a special case of 3D analysis (one one bin in energy). So, we must specify the type of analysis as 3D, and define the geometry of the analysis.

[4]:
config.datasets.type = "3d"
config.datasets.geom.wcs.skydir = {
    "lon": "0 deg",
    "lat": "0 deg",
    "frame": "galactic",
}  # The WCS geometry - centered on the galactic center
config.datasets.geom.wcs.width = {"width": "8 deg", "height": "6 deg"}
config.datasets.geom.wcs.binsize = "0.02 deg"

# The FoV radius to use for cutouts
config.datasets.geom.selection.offset_max = 2.5 * u.deg
config.datasets.safe_mask.methods = ["offset-max"]
config.datasets.safe_mask.parameters = {"offset_max": 2.5 * u.deg}
config.datasets.background.method = "fov_background"
config.fit.fit_range = {"min": "0.1 TeV", "max": "30.0 TeV"}

# We now fix the energy axis for the counts map - (the reconstructed energy binning)
config.datasets.geom.axes.energy.min = "0.1 TeV"
config.datasets.geom.axes.energy.max = "10 TeV"
config.datasets.geom.axes.energy.nbins = 1

config.datasets.geom.wcs.binsize_irf = 0.2 * u.deg

Getting the reduced dataset#

We now use the config file and create a single MapDataset containing counts, background, exposure, psf and edisp maps.

The counts and background maps have only one bin in reconstructed energy. The exposure and IRF maps are in true energy, and hence, have a different binning based upon the binning of the IRFs. We need not bother about them presently.

Modelling#

Now, we define a model to be fitted to the dataset. The important thing to note here is the dummy spectral model - an integrated powerlaw with only free normalisation. Here, we use its YAML definition to load it:
