LightCurveEstimator¶

class gammapy.time.LightCurveEstimator(spec_extract)[source]¶

Class producing light curve.

Parameters:

spec_extract : SpectrumExtraction

Contains statistics, IRF and event lists

Methods Summary

`compute_flux_point`(time_interval, ...)	Compute one flux point for one time interval.
`light_curve`(time_intervals, spectral_model, ...)	Compute light curve.

Methods Documentation

compute_flux_point(time_interval, spectral_model, energy_range)[source]¶

Compute one flux point for one time interval.

Parameters:

time_interval : Time

Time interval (2-element array, or a tuple of Time objects)

spectral_model : SpectralModel

Spectral model

energy_range : Quantity

True energy range to evaluate integrated flux (true energy)

Returns:

measurements : dict

Dictionary with flux point measurement in the time interval

light_curve(time_intervals, spectral_model, energy_range)[source]¶

Compute light curve.

To be discussed: assumption that threshold energy in the same in reco and true energy.

TODO: For the moment there is an issue with the rebinning in reconstructed energy, do not use it: https://github.com/gammapy/gammapy/issues/953

Parameters:

time_intervals : list of Time

List of time intervals

spectral_model : SpectralModel

Spectral model

energy_range : Quantity

True energy range to evaluate integrated flux (true energy)

Returns:

Light curve
