ctexpcube

Generate an exposure cube for binned maximum likelihood analysis.

Synopsis

This tool generates an exposure cube for use in a binned maximum likelihood analysis.

General parameters

inobs [file]

Input event list or observation definition XML file.

incube [file]

Counts cube for PSF cube definition.

outcube [file]

Output exposure cube file.

caldb [string]

Calibration database.

irf [string]

Response function.

(edisp = no) [boolean]

Apply energy dispersion for response computation?

ebinalg <FILE|LIN|LOG> [string]

Algorithm for defining energy bins.

emin [real]

Lower energy value for first energy bin (in TeV).

emax [real]

Upper energy value for last energy bin (in TeV).

enumbins [integer]

Number of energy bins.

ebinfile [file]

Name of the file containing the energy bin definition.

(usepnt = no) [boolean]

Use CTA pointing direction for cube centre instead of xref/yref parameters?

nxpix [integer]

Number of cube bins in Right Ascension or Galactic longitude.

nypix [integer]

Number of cube bins in Declination or Galactic latitude.

binsz [real]

Cube bin size (in degrees/pixel).

coordsys <CEL|GAL> [string]

Coordinate system (CEL - celestial, GAL - galactic).

xref [real]

Right Ascension / Galactic longitude of cube centre (J2000, in degrees).

yref [real]

Declination / Galactic latitude of cube centre (J2000, in degrees).

proj <AIT|AZP|CAR|MER|MOL|STG|TAN> [string]

Projection method.

Standard parameters

(chatter = 2) [integer]

Verbosity of the executable:

chatter = 0: no information will be logged

chatter = 1: only errors will be logged

chatter = 2: errors and actions will be logged

chatter = 3: report about the task execution

chatter = 4: detailed report about the task execution

(clobber = yes) [boolean]

Specifies whether an existing output counts cube should be overwritten.

(debug = no) [boolean]

Enables debug mode. In debug mode the executable will dump any log file output to the console.

(mode = ql) [string]

Mode of automatic parameters (default is "ql", i.e. "query and learn").

(logfile = ctexpcube.log) [string]

Name of log file.
