inverse(value, energy_min=<Quantity 0.1 TeV>, energy_max=<Quantity 100. TeV>)[source]#

Calls the scipy.optimize.brentq numerical root finding method.

Parameters

energy_minQuantity: Lower energy bound of the roots finding
energy_maxQuantity: Upper energy bound of the roots finding

Returns

energyQuantity: Energies at which the model has the given value.

plot(energy_bounds, ax=None, sed_type='dnde', energy_power=0, n_points=100, **kwargs)[source]#

Plot spectral model curve.

kwargs are forwarded to matplotlib.pyplot.plot

By default a log-log scaling of the axes is used, if you want to change the y axis scaling to linear you can use:

from gammapy.modeling.models import ExpCutoffPowerLawSpectralModel
from astropy import units as u

pwl = ExpCutoffPowerLawSpectralModel()
ax = pwl.plot(energy_bounds=(0.1, 100) * u.TeV)
ax.set_yscale('linear')

Parameters

axAxes, optional: Axis
energy_boundsQuantity: Plot energy bounds passed to MapAxis.from_energy_bounds
sed_type{“dnde”, “flux”, “eflux”, “e2dnde”}: Evaluation methods of the model
energy_powerint, optional: Power of energy to multiply flux axis with
n_pointsint, optional: Number of evaluation nodes
**kwargsdict: Keyword arguments forwarded to plot

Returns

axAxes, optional: Axis

plot_error(energy_bounds, ax=None, sed_type='dnde', energy_power=0, n_points=100, **kwargs)[source]#

Plot spectral model error band.

Note

This method calls ax.set_yscale("log", nonpositive='clip') and ax.set_xscale("log", nonposx='clip') to create a log-log representation. The additional argument nonposx='clip' avoids artefacts in the plot, when the error band extends to negative values (see also https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/8623).

When you call plt.loglog() or plt.semilogy() explicitly in your plotting code and the error band extends to negative values, it is not shown correctly. To circumvent this issue also use plt.loglog(nonposx='clip', nonpositive='clip') or plt.semilogy(nonpositive='clip').

Parameters

axAxes, optional: Axis
energy_boundsQuantity: Plot energy bounds passed to MapAxis.from_energy_bounds
sed_type{“dnde”, “flux”, “eflux”, “e2dnde”}: Evaluation methods of the model
energy_powerint, optional: Power of energy to multiply flux axis with
n_pointsint, optional: Number of evaluation nodes
**kwargsdict: Keyword arguments forwarded to matplotlib.pyplot.fill_between

Returns

axAxes, optional: Axis

reassign(datasets_names, new_datasets_names)#

Reassign a model from one dataset to another

Parameters

datasets_namesstr or list: Name of the datasets where the model is currently defined
new_datasets_namesstr or list: Name of the datasets where the model should be defined instead. If multiple names are given the two list must have the save length, as the reassignment is element-wise.

Returns

modelModel: Reassigned model.

reference_fluxes(energy_axis)[source]#

Get reference fluxes for a given energy axis.

Parameters

energy_axisMapAxis: Energy axis

Returns

fluxesdict of Quantity: Reference fluxes

spectral_index(energy, epsilon=1e-05)[source]#

Compute spectral index at given energy.

Parameters

energyQuantity: Energy at which to estimate the index
epsilonfloat: Fractional energy increment to use for determining the spectral index.

Returns

indexfloat: Estimated spectral index.
