compute_lightcurve_fpp

gammapy.estimators.utils.compute_lightcurve_fpp(lightcurve, flux_quantity='flux')

Compute the point-to-point excess variance of the input lightcurve.

Internally calls the compute_fpp function

Parameters:

lightcurveFluxPoints

The lightcurve object.

flux_quantitystr, optional

Flux quantity to use for calculation. Should be ‘dnde’, ‘flux’, ‘e2dnde’ or ‘eflux’. Default is ‘flux’.

Returns:

tableTable

Table of point-to-point excess variance and associated error for each energy bin of the lightcurve.

Examples

from gammapy.estimators import FluxPoints
from gammapy.estimators.utils import compute_lightcurve_fpp

lightcurve = FluxPoints.read(
    "$GAMMAPY_DATA/estimators/pks2155_hess_lc/pks2155_hess_lc.fits",
    format="lightcurve",
)
fpp = compute_lightcurve_fpp(lightcurve)
