ctools examples

This folder contains Python example scripts that illustrate the usage of the ctools.

generate_prod3_irfs/py

Generates Prod3 Instrument Response Functions from FITS files.

make_pointings.py

Creates pointings for CTA surveys. For the moment the Galactic Plane Survey (gps), the Extragalactic Survey (extgal), the Galactic Centre Survey (gc) and the LMC survey (lmc) are implemented. The script outputs and ASCII file that can be used by csobsdef.

make_spectrum.py

Simulates events and generates a spectrum from the using csspec.

make_ts_distributions.py

Creates TS distributions as function of energy for an OFF observaition of 50 hours effective observing time. If the Python processing module is installed the script can make use of multiple cores and runs in parallel.

Example pipeline for simulating events and performing a stacked analysis by saving intermediate results to disk.

pipeline_stacked_mem.py

Example pipeline for simulating events and performing a stacked analysis in memory. No files will be written to disk.

pipeline_unbinned_disk.py

Example pipeline for simulating events and performing an unbinned analysis by saving intermediate results to disk.

pipeline_unbinned_mem.py
