EffectiveArea2dMaker#

class ctapipe.irf.EffectiveArea2dMaker(**kwargs: Any)[source]#

Creates a radially symmetric parameterization of the effective area in equidistant bins of logarithmic true energy and field of view offset.

Methods Summary

__call__(events, spatial_selection_applied, ...)

Calculate the effective area and create a fits binary table HDU in GADF format.

Methods Documentation

__call__(events: QTable, spatial_selection_applied: bool, signal_is_point_like: bool, sim_info: SimulatedEventsInfo, extname: str = 'EFFECTIVE AREA') → BinTableHDU[source]#

Calculate the effective area and create a fits binary table HDU in GADF format.

Parameters:

events: astropy.table.QTable: Reconstructed events to be used.
spatial_selection_applied: bool: If a direction cut was applied on events, pass True, else False.
signal_is_point_like: bool: If events were simulated only at a single point in the field of view, pass True, else False.
sim_info: pyirf.simulations.SimulatedEventsInfoa: The overall statistics of the simulated events.
extname: str: Name of the BinTableHDU.

Returns:
