Summary#

New features#

  • Metadata containers have been introduced following PIG 25. Preliminary versions have been designed for most data products from DL3 to DL5. They will progressively be accessible on their .meta attributes.

  • Parameter prior support has been introduced following PIG 26. A few Prior classes can be defined on Parameter.prior and the associated log-prior is added to the total statistics during fitting.

  • Helper functions have been added to perform computation of lifetime and total observation time maps.

  • A preliminary support for asymmetric IRFs has been introduced. A tutorial shows how to implement new IRF classes to support non-axisymmetric IRFs.

  • Improved support for temporal analysis with the addition of helper functions to quantify lightcurve variability.

  • New helper classes have been added to perform event sampling for a single or a set of observations: gammapy.datasets.ObservationEventSampler and gammapy.data.ObservationsEventSampler.

  • A checksum option has been added on read and write methods in Gammapy. It follows the FITS standard and reuses the astropy methods and behaviour. A checksum for yaml file has been introduced as well.

  • Improved support for parallel processing

gammapy.catalogs

  • Update the 4FGL catalog to include DR4.

  • Added 1LHAASO catalog.

gammapy.data

  • A general scheme for metadata support has been introduced. The Metadata base class has been designed according to PIG 25.

  • Added a function to remove a time interval from a GTI.

  • Added function to export part of a DataStore to an IVOA compliant ObsCore table.

gammapy.makers

  • Prototype support for asymmetric IRF in Gammapy’s Maker classes. A tutorial exposing how to create such IRFs has been added.

gammapy.maps

  • Implement TimeMapAxis.pix_to_coord()

  • Implement TimeMapAxis.to_gti()

gammapy.modeling

  • Added a function to determine a pivot energy for all spectral models.

  • Added position as a parameter for the TemplateSpatialModel. CAVEAT: results are correct only when the fitted position is close to the map center.

  • Added Spatial parameters in FoVBackgroundModels

  • SkyModel evaluation now supports a TimeMapAxis

  • Adapt FluxPointsDataset to directly fit lightcurves

gammapy.estimators

  • Add a slice_by_coord() function on FluxMaps.

  • Introduce timing utility functions: point to point flux variance, fractional excess variance, doubling/halving times for light curves

  • Add optional sensitivity estimation in ExcessMapEstimator.

  • Added support for NormSpectralModels in FluxPointsDataset / FluxPoints computations

  • Fit status and degrees of freedom have been added to FluxMaps.

  • Add a dedicated EnergyDependentMorphologyEstimator as well as a tutorial demonstrating its usage.

  • Add functionality to rebin flux points using the likelihood profiles.

  • GTI tables are now serialised on FluxPoints objects.

gammapy.visualization

  • Add a plot function for the distribution of Map data.

API changes#

  • Source parameters are now frozen on init in FluxEstimator classes.

  • The norm parameter is now passed as an argument to the various flux estimators. Parameter.is_norm is now deprecated.

  • The default index of ExpCutoffPowerlawNormSpectralModel has been changed to 0 for consistency with the PowerlawNormSpectralModel.

Bug fixes and improvements#

  • Correct MapDataset.info_dict() to use background model rather than IRF background when giving excess counts and significance.

  • Import ray only when needed.

  • Added information on number of degrees of freedom on FluxMaps and FluxPoints objects.

  • Reduced memory usage of MapEvaluator and PSFMap.get_psf_kernel().

  • Added support for multiprocessing in FluxProfileEstimator.

  • Added multiprocessing for WcsNDMap convolution.

  • Add a context manager for multiprocessing.

  • Add a faster reprojection method : reproject_by_image.

  • Use interpolation for dark matter mass. Add Zhao profile and DarkMatterDecaySpectralModel.

  • The asymmetric errors and upper limit calculations in CashCountsStatistic have been replaced by an equivalent analytical expression.
