hdustr

The HDU extension name.

hdu_bandsstr

The HDU extension name for BANDS table.

sparsebool

Set INDXSCHM to SPARSE and sparsify the map by only writing pixels with non-zero amplitude.

formatstr, optional

FITS format convention. By default files will be written to the gamma-astro-data-formats (GADF) format. This option can be used to write files that are compliant with format conventions required by specific software (e.g. the Fermi Science Tools). The following formats are supported:

• “gadf” (default)

• “fgst-ccube”

• “fgst-ltcube”

• “fgst-bexpcube”

• “fgst-srcmap”

• “fgst-template”

• “fgst-srcmap-sparse”

• “galprop”

• “galprop2”

Returns

hdu_listHDUList

abstract to_swapped()

Return a new map with the opposite scheme (ring or nested).

Returns

mapHpxMap

Map object.

to_unit(unit)

Convert map to different unit

Parameters

unitUnit or str

New unit

Returns

mapMap

Map with new unit and converted data

abstract to_wcs(sum_bands=False, normalize=True, proj='AIT', oversample=2, width_pix=None, hpx2wcs=None)

Make a WCS object and convert HEALPIX data into WCS projection.

Parameters

sum_bandsbool

Sum over non-spatial axes before reprojecting. If False then the WCS map will have the same dimensionality as the HEALPix one.

normalizebool

Preserve integral by splitting HEALPIX values between bins?

projstr

WCS-projection

oversamplefloat

Oversampling factor for WCS map. This will be the approximate ratio of the width of a HPX pixel to a WCS pixel. If this parameter is None then the width will be set from width_pix.

width_pixint

Width of the WCS geometry in pixels. The pixel size will be set to the number of pixels satisfying oversample or width_pix whichever is smaller. If this parameter is None then the width will be set from oversample.

hpx2wcsHpxToWcsMapping

Set the HPX to WCS mapping object that will be used to generate the WCS map. If none then a new mapping will be generated based on proj and oversample arguments.

Returns

map_outWcsMap

WCS map object.

abstract upsample(factor, order=0, preserve_counts=True, axis_name=None)

Upsample the spatial dimension by a given factor.

Parameters

factorint

Upsampling factor.

orderint

Order of the interpolation used for upsampling.

preserve_countsbool

Preserve the integral over each bin. This should be true if the map is an integral quantity (e.g. counts) and false if the map is a differential quantity (e.g. intensity).

axis_namestr

Which axis to upsample. By default spatial axes are upsampled.

Returns

mapMap

Upsampled map.

write(filename, overwrite=False, **kwargs)

Write to a FITS file.

Parameters

filenamestr

Output file name.

overwritebool

Overwrite existing file?

hdustr

Set the name of the image extension. By default this will be set to SKYMAP (for BINTABLE HDU) or PRIMARY (for IMAGE HDU).

hdu_bandsstr

Set the name of the bands table extension. By default this will be set to BANDS.

formatstr, optional

FITS format convention. By default files will be written to the gamma-astro-data-formats (GADF) format. This option can be used to write files that are compliant with format conventions required by specific software (e.g. the Fermi Science Tools). The following formats are supported:

• “gadf” (default)

• “fgst-ccube”

• “fgst-ltcube”

• “fgst-bexpcube”

• “fgst-srcmap”

• “fgst-template”

• “fgst-srcmap-sparse”

• “galprop”

• “galprop2”

sparsebool

Sparsify the map by dropping pixels with zero amplitude. This option is only compatible with the ‘gadf’ format.
