OGIPDatasetWriter

class gammapy.datasets.OGIPDatasetWriter(filename, format='ogip', overwrite=False, checksum=False)

Bases: gammapy.datasets.io.DatasetWriter

Write OGIP files.

If you want to use the written files with Sherpa, you have to use the ogip-sherpa format. Then all files will be written in units of ‘keV’ and ‘cm2’.

The naming scheme is fixed as following:

• PHA file is named filename.fits

• BKG file is named filename_bkg.fits

• ARF file is named filename_arf.fits

• RMF file is named filename_rmf.fits

Parameters

filenamePath or str

Filename.

format{“ogip”, “ogip-sherpa”}

Which format to use. Default is ‘ogip’.

overwritebool, optional

Overwrite existing files. Default is False.

checksumbool

When True adds both DATASUM and CHECKSUM cards to the headers written to the files. Default is False.
