Multi instrument joint 3D and 1D analysis#

Joint 3D analysis using 3D Fermi datasets, a H.E.S.S. reduced spectrum and HAWC flux points.

Prerequisites#

  • Handling of Fermi-LAT data with Gammapy see the Fermi-LAT with Gammapy tutorial.

  • Knowledge of spectral analysis to produce 1D On-Off datasets, see the following Spectral analysis tutorial.

  • Using flux points to directly fit a model (without forward-folding) from the Flux point fitting tutorial.

Context#

Some science studies require to combine heterogeneous data from various instruments to extract physical information. In particular, it is often useful to add flux measurements of a source at different energies to an analysis to better constrain the wide-band spectral parameters. This can be done using a joint fit of heterogeneous datasets.

Objectives: Constrain the spectral parameters of the gamma-ray emission from the Crab nebula between 10 GeV and 100 TeV, using a 3D Fermi dataset, a H.E.S.S. reduced spectrum and HAWC flux points.

Proposed approach#

This tutorial illustrates how to perform a joint modeling and fitting of the Crab Nebula spectrum using different datasets. The spectral parameters are optimized by combining a 3D analysis of Fermi-LAT data, a ON/OFF spectral analysis of HESS data, and flux points from HAWC.

In this tutorial we are going to use pre-made datasets. We prepared maps of the Crab region as seen by Fermi-LAT using the same event selection than the 3FHL catalog (7 years of data with energy from 10 GeV to 2 TeV). For the HESS ON/OFF analysis we used two observations from the first public data release with a significant signal from energy of about 600 GeV to 10 TeV. These observations have an offset of 0.5° and a zenith angle of 45-48°. The HAWC flux points data are taken from a recent analysis based on 2.5 years of data with energy between 300 Gev and 300 TeV.

Data and models files#

The datasets serialization produce YAML files listing the datasets and models. In the following cells we show an example containning only the Fermi-LAT dataset and the Crab model.

Fermi-LAT-3FHL_datasets.yaml:

path = make_path("$GAMMAPY_DATA/fermi-3fhl-crab/Fermi-LAT-3FHL_datasets.yaml")

with path.open("r") as f:
    print(f.read())
datasets:

  filename: Fermi-LAT-3FHL_data_Fermi-LAT.fits

We used as model a point source with a log-parabola spectrum. The initial parameters were taken from the latest Fermi-LAT catalog 4FGL, then we have re-optimized the spectral parameters for our dataset in the 10 GeV - 2 TeV energy range (fixing the source position).

HESS-DL3: 1D ON/OFF dataset for spectral fitting#

The ON/OFF datasets can be read from PHA files following the OGIP standards. We read the PHA files from each observation, and compute a stacked dataset for simplicity. Then the Crab spectral model previously defined is added to the dataset.

datasets_hess = Datasets()

for obs_id in [23523, 23526]:
    dataset = SpectrumDatasetOnOff.read(
        f"$GAMMAPY_DATA/joint-crab/spectra/hess/pha_obs{obs_id}.fits"
    )
    datasets_hess.append(dataset)

dataset_hess = datasets_hess.stack_reduce(name="HESS")

datasets.append(dataset_hess)

HAWC: 1D dataset for flux point fitting#

The HAWC flux point are taken from https://arxiv.org/pdf/1905.12518.pdf Then these flux points are read from a pre-made FITS file and passed to a FluxPointsDataset together with the source spectral model.

# read flux points from https://arxiv.org/pdf/1905.12518.pdf
filename = "$GAMMAPY_DATA/hawc_crab/HAWC19_flux_points.fits"
flux_points_hawc = FluxPoints.read(
    filename, reference_model=create_crab_spectral_model("meyer")
)

dataset_hawc = FluxPointsDataset(data=flux_points_hawc, name="HAWC")

datasets.append(dataset_hawc)

Datasets serialization#

The datasets object contains each dataset previously defined. It can be saved on disk as datasets.yaml, models.yaml, and several data files specific to each dataset. Then the datasets can be rebuild later from these files.

path = Path("crab-3datasets")
path.mkdir(exist_ok=True)

filename = path / "crab_10GeV_100TeV_datasets.yaml"

datasets.write(filename, overwrite=True)

datasets = Datasets.read(filename)
datasets.models = models

print(datasets)

Joint analysis#

We run the fit on the Datasets object that include a dataset for each instrument

fit_joint = Fit()
results_joint = fit_joint.run(datasets=datasets)
print(results_joint)

Let’s display only the parameters of the Crab spectral model

crab_spec = datasets[0].models["Crab Nebula"].spectral_model
print(crab_spec)
LogParabolaSpectralModel

  type      name     value         unit      ... max frozen is_norm link

spectral      beta 6.1321e-02                ... nan  False   False

We can compute flux points for Fermi-LAT and HESS datasets in order plot them together with the HAWC flux point.

# compute Fermi-LAT and HESS flux points
energy_edges = MapAxis.from_energy_bounds("10 GeV", "2 TeV", nbin=5).edges

flux_points_fermi = FluxPointsEstimator(
    energy_edges=energy_edges,
    source="Crab Nebula",
).run([datasets["Fermi-LAT"]])


energy_edges = MapAxis.from_bounds(1, 15, nbin=6, interp="log", unit="TeV").edges

flux_points_hess = FluxPointsEstimator(
    energy_edges=energy_edges, source="Crab Nebula", selection_optional=["ul"]
).run([datasets["HESS"]])

Now, Let’s plot the Crab spectrum fitted and the flux points of each instrument.
