FluxMaps#

class gammapy.estimators.FluxMaps(data, reference_model, meta=None, gti=None, filter_success_nan=True)[source]#

Bases: object

A flux map / points container.

It contains a set of Map objects that store the estimated flux as a function of energy as well as associated quantities (typically errors, upper limits, delta TS and possibly raw quantities such counts, excesses etc). It also contains a reference model to convert the flux values in different formats. Usually, this should be the model used to produce the flux map.

The associated map geometry can use a RegionGeom to store the equivalent of flux points, or a WcsGeom/HpxGeom to store an energy dependent flux map.

The container relies internally on the ‘Likelihood’ SED type defined in SED and offers convenience properties to convert to other flux formats, namely: dnde, flux, eflux or e2dnde. The conversion is done according to the reference model spectral shape.

Parameters
