Generalized Gaussian temporal model#
This model parametrises a generalized Gaussian time model.
\[ \begin{align}\begin{aligned}F(t) = \exp \left( - 0.5 \cdot \left( \frac{|t - t_{\rm{ref}}|}{t_{\rm{rise}}} \right) ^ {1 / \eta} \right) \text{ for } t < t_{\rm{ref}}\\F(t) = \exp \left( - 0.5 \cdot \left( \frac{|t - t_{\rm{ref}}|}{t_{\rm{decay}}} \right) ^ {1 / \eta} \right) \text{ for } t > t_{\rm{ref}}\end{aligned}\end{align} \]
Example plot#
Here is an example plot of the model:
from astropy import units as u
from astropy.time import Time
from astropy.units import Quantity
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from gammapy.modeling.models import (
GeneralizedGaussianTemporalModel,
Models,
PowerLawSpectralModel,
SkyModel,
)
t_rise = Quantity(0.1, "d")
t_decay = Quantity(1, "d")
eta = Quantity(2 / 3, "")
t_ref = Time("2020-10-01")
time_range = [t_ref - 1 * u.d, t_ref + 1 * u.d]
gen_gaussian_model = GeneralizedGaussianTemporalModel(
t_ref=t_ref.mjd * u.d, t_rise=t_rise, t_decay=t_decay, eta=eta
)
gen_gaussian_model.plot(time_range)
plt.grid(which="both")
