data - Data and observations

Introduction

gammapy.data currently contains the EventList class, as well as classes for IACT data and observation handling.

Getting Started

You can use the EventList class to load IACT gamma-ray event lists:

>>> from gammapy.data import EventList
>>> filename = '$GAMMAPY_DATA/hess-dl3-dr1/data/hess_dl3_dr1_obs_id_023523.fits.gz'
>>> events = EventList.read(filename)

To load Fermi-LAT event lists, use the EventListLAT class:

>>> from gammapy.data import EventListLAT
>>> filename = '$GAMMAPY_DATA/fermi_2fhl/2fhl_events.fits.gz'
>>> events = EventListLAT.read(filename)

The other main class in gammapy.data is the DataStore, which makes it easy to load IACT data. E.g. an alternative way to load the events for observation ID 23523 is this:

>>> from gammapy.data import DataStore
>>> data_store = DataStore.from_dir('$GAMMAPY_DATA/hess-dl3-dr1')
>>> events = data_store.obs(23523).events
