Attributes Documentation

aeff

Load effective area object.

bkg

Load background object.

edisp

Load energy dispersion object.

events

Load gammapy.data.EventList object and apply the filter.

gti

Load gammapy.data.GTI object and apply the filter.

muoneff

Observation muon efficiency.

obs_info

Observation information (OrderedDict).

observation_dead_time_fraction

Dead-time fraction (float).

Defined as dead-time over observation time.

Dead-time is defined as the time during the observation where the detector didn’t record events: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_time https://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2004APh….22..285F

The dead-time fraction is used in the live-time computation, which in turn is used in the exposure and flux computation.

observation_live_time_duration

Live-time duration in seconds (Quantity).

The dead-time-corrected observation time.

Computed as t_live = t_observation * (1 - f_dead) where f_dead is the dead-time fraction.

observation_time_duration

Observation time duration in seconds (Quantity).

The wall time, including dead-time.

observatory_earth_location

Observatory location (EarthLocation).

pointing_altaz

Pointing ALT / AZ sky coordinates (SkyCoord).

pointing_radec

Pointing RA / DEC sky coordinates (SkyCoord).

pointing_zen

Pointing zenith angle sky (Quantity).

psf

Load point spread function object.

target_radec

Target RA / DEC sky coordinates (SkyCoord).

tstart

Observation start time (Time).

tstop

Observation stop time (Time).

Methods Documentation

check(checks='all')

Run checks.

This is a generator that yields a list of dicts.

load(hdu_type=None, hdu_class=None)

Load data file as appropriate object.

Parameters:

hdu_type : str

HDU type (see VALID_HDU_TYPE)

hdu_class : str

HDU class (see VALID_HDU_CLASS)

Returns:

object : object

Object depends on type, e.g. for events it’s a EventList.

location(hdu_type=None, hdu_class=None)

HDU location object.

Parameters:

hdu_type : str

HDU type (see VALID_HDU_TYPE)

hdu_class : str

HDU class (see VALID_HDU_CLASS)

Returns:

location : HDULocation

HDU location

peek()

Quick-look plots in a few panels.

to_observation_cta()

Convert to ObservationCTA.

This loads all observation-related info from disk and stores it in the in-memory ObservationCTA.

Returns:

observation : ObservationCTA

Observation
