Examples

This is how to plot the default PLSuperExpCutoff3FGL model:

from astropy import units as u
from gammapy.spectrum.models import PLSuperExpCutoff3FGL

secpl_3fgl = PLSuperExpCutoff3FGL()
secpl_3fgl.plot(energy_range=[0.1, 100] * u.TeV)
plt.show()

static evaluate(energy, amplitude, reference, ecut, index_1, index_2)[source]¶: Evaluate the model (static function).

evaluate_error(energy)¶

Evaluate spectral model with error propagation.

Parameters:

Returns:

flux, flux_error : tuple of Quantity

Tuple of flux and flux error.

classmethod from_dict(val)¶: Create from dict.

integral(emin, emax, **kwargs)¶

Integrate spectral model numerically.

\[F(E_{min}, E_{max}) = \int_{E_{min}}^{E_{max}}\phi(E)dE\]

If array input for emin and emax is given you have to set intervals=True if you want the integral in each energy bin.

Parameters:

emin, emax : Quantity

Lower and upper bound of integration range.

**kwargs : dict

Keyword arguments passed to integrate_spectrum()

integral_error(emin, emax, **kwargs)¶

Integrate spectral model numerically with error propagation.

Parameters:

emin, emax : Quantity

Lower adn upper bound of integration range.

**kwargs : dict

Keyword arguments passed to func:integrate_spectrum

Returns:

integral, integral_error : tuple of Quantity

Tuple of integral flux and integral flux error.

inverse(value, emin=<Quantity 0.1 TeV>, emax=<Quantity 100. TeV>)¶

Return energy for a given function value of the spectral model.

Calls the scipy.optimize.brentq numerical root finding method.

Parameters:

value : Quantity

Function value of the spectral model.

emin : Quantity

Lower bracket value in case solution is not unique.

emax : Quantity

Upper bracket value in case solution is not unique.

Returns:

energy : Quantity

Energies at which the model has the given value.

plot(energy_range, ax=None, energy_unit='TeV', flux_unit='cm-2 s-1 TeV-1', 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:

Parameters:

ax : Axes, optional

Axis

energy_range : Quantity

Plot range

energy_unit : str, Unit, optional

Unit of the energy axis

flux_unit : str, Unit, optional

Unit of the flux axis

energy_power : int, optional

Power of energy to multiply flux axis with

n_points : int, optional

Number of evaluation nodes

Returns:

ax : Axes, optional

Axis

plot_error(energy_range, ax=None, energy_unit='TeV', flux_unit='cm-2 s-1 TeV-1', energy_power=0, n_points=100, **kwargs)¶

Plot spectral model error band.

Note

This method calls ax.set_yscale("log", nonposy='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() explicitely 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', nonposy='clip') or plt.semilogy(nonposy='clip').

Parameters:

ax : Axes, optional

Axis

energy_range : Quantity

Plot range

energy_unit : str, Unit, optional

Unit of the energy axis

flux_unit : str, Unit, optional

Unit of the flux axis

energy_power : int, optional

Power of energy to multiply flux axis with

n_points : int, optional

Number of evaluation nodes

**kwargs : dict

Keyword arguments forwarded to matplotlib.pyplot.fill_between

Returns:

ax : Axes, optional

Axis

spectral_index(energy, epsilon=1e-05)¶

Compute spectral index at given energy.

Parameters:

energy : Quantity

Energy at which to estimate the index

epsilon : float

Fractional energy increment to use for determining the spectral index.

Returns:

index : float

Estimated spectral index.

to_dict()¶: Convert to dict.
