HpxNDMap

class gammapy.maps.HpxNDMap(geom, data=None, dtype='float32', meta=None, unit='')

Bases: gammapy.maps.hpx.core.HpxMap

HEALPix map with any number of non-spatial dimensions.

This class uses a N+1D numpy array to represent the sequence of HEALPix image planes. Following the convention of WCS-based maps this class uses a column-wise ordering for the data array with the spatial dimension being tied to the last index of the array.

Parameters

geomHpxGeom

HEALPIX geometry object.

datandarray

HEALPIX data array. If none then an empty array will be allocated.

metadict

Dictionary to store meta data.

unitstr or Unit

Methods Documentation

apply_edisp(edisp)

Apply energy dispersion to map. Requires energy axis.

Parameters

edispgammapy.irf.EDispKernel

Energy dispersion matrix

Returns

mapWcsNDMap

Map with energy dispersion applied.

coadd(map_in, weights=None)

Add the contents of map_in to this map.

This method can be used to combine maps containing integral quantities (e.g. counts) or differential quantities if the maps have the same binning.

Parameters

map_inMap

Input map.

weights: `Map` or `~numpy.ndarray`

The weight factors while adding

convolve(kernel, convolution_method='wcs-tan', **kwargs)

Convolve map with a WCS kernel.

It projects the map into a WCS geometry, convolves with a WCS kernel and projects back into the initial Healpix geometry.

If the kernel is two dimensional, it is applied to all image planes likewise. If the kernel is higher dimensional it must match the map in the number of dimensions and the corresponding kernel is selected for every image plane.

Parameters

kernelPSFKernel

Convolution kernel. The pixel size must be upsampled by a factor 2 or bigger with respect to the input map to prevent artifacts in the projection.

convolution_methodstr

Supported methods are : ‘wcs-tan’: project on WCS geometry and convolve with WCS kernel. See convolve_wcs.

**kwargsdict

Keyword arguments passed to convolve.

Returns

mapHpxNDMap

Convolved map.

convolve_full(kernel)

Convolve map with a symmetrical WCS kernel.

It extracts the radial profile of the kernel (assuming radial symmetry) and convolves via hp.sphtfunc.smoothing. Since no projection is applied, this is suited for full-sky and large maps.

If the kernel is two dimensional, it is applied to all image planes likewise. If the kernel is higher dimensional it must match the map in the number of dimensions and the corresponding kernel is selected for every image plane.

Parameters

kernelPSFKernel

Convolution kernel. The pixel size must be upsampled by a factor 2 or bigger with respect to the input map to prevent artifacts in the projection.

Returns

mapHpxNDMap

Convolved map.

convolve_wcs(kernel, **kwargs)

Convolve map with a WCS kernel.

It projects the map into a WCS geometry, convolves with a WCS kernel and projects back into the initial Healpix geometry.

If the kernel is two dimensional, it is applied to all image planes likewise. If the kernel is higher dimensional should either match the map in the number of dimensions or the map must be an image (no non-spatial axes). In that case, the corresponding kernel is selected and applied to every image plane or to the single input image respectively.

Parameters

kernelPSFKernel

Convolution kernel. The pixel size must be upsampled by a factor 2 or bigger with respect to the input map to prevent artifacts in the projection.
