make_map_background_irf#

gammapy.makers.utils.make_map_background_irf(pointing, ontime, bkg, geom, oversampling=None, use_region_center=True, obstime=None)[source]#

Compute background map from background IRFs.

Parameters:
pointingFixedPointingInfo or SkyCoord

Observation pointing.

  • If a FixedPointingInfo is passed, FOV coordinates are properly computed.

  • If a SkyCoord is passed, FOV frame rotation is not taken into account.

ontimeQuantity

Observation ontime. i.e. not corrected for deadtime see https://gamma-astro-data-formats.readthedocs.io/en/latest/irfs/full_enclosure/bkg/index.html#notes) # noqa: E501

bkgBackground3D

Background rate model.

geomWcsGeom

Reference geometry.

oversamplingint

Oversampling factor in energy, used for the background model evaluation.

use_region_centerbool, optional

For geom as a RegionGeom. If True, consider the values at the region center. If False, average over the whole region. Default is True.

obstimeTime

Observation time to use.

Returns:
backgroundWcsNDMap

Background predicted counts sky cube in reconstructed energy.
