plot_pulse_profile_3PC#

gammapy.visualization.plot_pulse_profile_3PC(source, n_period=2, add_radio_profile=True, add_best_fit_profile=True, add_error=True)[source]#

Plot pulse profiles from the Fermi-LAT 3PC catalog.

This function generates a multi-panel figure showing the phase-resolved pulse profiles of a pulsar as provided in the SourceCatalog3PC. The first panel displays the integrated profile above 100 MeV, optionally overlaid with radio and best-fit profiles. The remaining panels show pulse profiles in different gamma-ray energy bands.

Parameters:

sourceSourceCatalogObject3PC: Source object containing pulse profile data from the 3PC catalog.
n_period{1, 2}, optional: Number of pulsar periods to display on the phase axis. Default is 2.
add_radio_profilebool, optional: Whether to overlay the radio pulse profile in the top panel. If no radio profile is available, it is skipped automatically. Default is True.
add_best_fit_profilebool, optional: Whether to overlay the best-fit pulse profile in the top panel. If no best-fit profile is available, it is skipped automatically. Default is True.
add_errorbool, optional: Whether to display uncertainties as error bars for all profiles. Default is True.

Returns:

axesndarray of Axes: Array of matplotlib axes objects corresponding to the panels.

Examples

This example shows how to plot the pulse profile:

from gammapy.catalog import SourceCatalog3PC
from gammapy.visualization.catalogs import plot_pulse_profile_3PC

catalog = SourceCatalog3PC()
source = catalog["J0534+2200"]
axes = plot_pulse_profile_3PC(source, n_period=2)
