Image analysis with Gammapy

Introduction

This tutorial shows how to make a significance image of the Crab nebula with Gammapy.

TODO: Refactor gammapy.scripts.image_fit into a class (simiar to gammapy.spectrum.SpectrumFit) and run it here to fit a Gauss and get the position / extension.

Setup

As usual, IPython notebooks start with some setup and Python imports

In [1]:
%matplotlib inline
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
In [2]:
import astropy.units as u
from astropy.coordinates import SkyCoord
from astropy.convolution import Ring2DKernel, Tophat2DKernel
from astropy.visualization import simple_norm

from gammapy.data import DataStore
from gammapy.image import SkyImage, SkyImageList
from gammapy.detect import KernelBackgroundEstimator as KBE

Dataset

We will use the gammapy.data.DataStore to access some example data.

These are observations of the Crab nebula with H.E.S.S. (preliminary, events are simulated for now).

In [3]:
data_store = DataStore.from_dir('$GAMMAPY_EXTRA/datasets/hess-crab4-hd-hap-prod2/')

Counts image

Let’s make a counts image using the SkyMap class.

In [4]:
source_pos = SkyCoord(83.633083, 22.0145, unit='deg')
# If you have internet access, you could also use this to define the `source_pos`:
# source_pos = SkyCoord.from_name('crab')
print(source_pos)
<SkyCoord (ICRS): (ra, dec) in deg
    ( 83.633083,  22.0145)>
In [5]:
ref_image = SkyImage.empty(
    nxpix=400, nypix=400, binsz=0.02,
    xref=source_pos.ra.deg, yref=source_pos.dec.deg,
    coordsys='CEL', proj='TAN',
)
In [6]:
# Make a counts image for a single observation
events = data_store.obs(obs_id=23523).events
counts_image = SkyImage.empty_like(ref_image)
counts_image.fill_events(events)
In [7]:
norm = simple_norm(counts_image.data, stretch='sqrt', min_cut=0, max_cut=0.3)
counts_image.smooth(radius=0.1 * u.deg).plot(norm=norm, add_cbar=True)
Out[7]:

 <matplotlib.axes._subplots.WCSAxesSubplot at 0x108533d68>,
 <matplotlib.colorbar.Colorbar at 0x102666b00>)
../_images/notebooks_image_analysis_11_1.png
In [8]:
# Making a counts image for multiple observations is a bit inconvenient at the moment
# we'll make that better soon.
# For now, you can do it like this:
obs_ids = [23523, 23526]
counts_image2 = SkyImage.empty_like(ref_image)
for obs_id in obs_ids:
    events = data_store.obs(obs_id=obs_id).events
    counts_image2.fill_events(events)
In [9]:
norm = simple_norm(counts_image2.data, stretch='sqrt', min_cut=0, max_cut=0.5)
counts_image2.smooth(radius=0.1 * u.deg).plot(norm=norm, add_cbar=True)

Background modeling

In Gammapy a few different methods to estimate the background are available.

Here we’ll use the gammapy.detect.KernelBackgroundEstimator to make a background image and the make a significance image.

In [10]:
source_kernel = Tophat2DKernel(radius=5)
source_kernel.normalize(mode='peak')
source_kernel = source_kernel.array

background_kernel = Ring2DKernel(radius_in=20, width=10)
background_kernel.normalize(mode='peak')
background_kernel = background_kernel.array
In [11]:
plt.imshow(source_kernel, interpolation='nearest', cmap='gray')
plt.colorbar()
plt.grid('off')
../_images/notebooks_image_analysis_16_0.png
In [12]:
plt.imshow(background_kernel, interpolation='nearest', cmap='gray')
plt.colorbar()
plt.grid('off')
../_images/notebooks_image_analysis_17_0.png
In [13]:
# To use the `KernelBackgroundEstimator` you first have to set
# up a source and background kernel and put the counts image input
# into a container `SkyImageList` class.
images = SkyImageList()
images['counts'] = counts_image2

kbe = KBE(
    kernel_src=source_kernel,
    kernel_bkg=background_kernel,
    significance_threshold=5,
    mask_dilation_radius=0.06 * u.deg,
)
# This takes about 10 seconds on my machine
result = kbe.run(images)

  mask = (n_on >= n_on_min)

  mask = (significance.data < p['significance_threshold']) | np.isnan(significance)
In [14]:
# Let's have a look at the background image and the exclusion mask

# This doesn't work yet ... need to do SkyImage.plot fixes:
# fig, axes = plt.subplots(nrows=1, ncols=3, figsize=(10, 3))
# background_image.plot(ax=axes[0])
# exclusion_image.plot(ax=axes[1])
# significance_image.plot(ax=axes[2])
In [15]:
background_image = result['background']
norm = simple_norm(background_image.data, stretch='sqrt', min_cut=0, max_cut=0.5)
background_image.plot(norm=norm, add_cbar=True)

Morphology fit

TODO

In [18]:
# from gammapy.scripts import image_fit

Exercises

  • Compute the counts, excess, background and significance at the Crab nebula position.
  • Make an energy distribution of the events at the Crab nebula position.
