None
Python interface
----------------
None
Support model
-------------
None
ctbin - CTA event binning
-------------------------
None
ctbkgcube - CTA background cube generation
------------------------------------------
None
ctbutterfly - Generate butterfly diagrams
-----------------------------------------
Add "statistic" parameter to allow setting of optimizer statistic (#2237).
ctcubemask - CTA cube filtering
-------------------------------
None
ctedispcube - CTA energy dispersion cube generation
---------------------------------------------------
None
cterror - Likelihood profile error computation
----------------------------------------------
Add "statistic" parameter to allow setting of optimizer statistic (#2237).
ctexpcube - CTA exposure cube generation
----------------------------------------
None
ctlike - Maximum likelihood fitting
-----------------------------------
Rename "stats" parameter to "statistic" (#2237).
ctmapcube - CTA map cube generation
-----------------------------------
None
ctmodel - CTA counts cube modelling
-----------------------------------
Use t-type parameters for "tmin" and "tmax" to all specifying times in various
formats (#1864).
The tool now also checks which models actually overlap with the RoI of a given
observation and then only use these models to compute the model cube. The
parallelization of the tool has also been optimised so that diffuse models are
not loaded over and over again (#2189).
ctobssim - CTA observation simulation
-------------------------------------
Use t-type parameters for "tmin" and "tmax" to all specifying times in various
formats (#1864).
ctphase - Event phase computation
---------------------------------
None
ctprob - Event probability computation
--------------------------------------
None
ctpsfcube - CTA point spread function cube generation
-----------------------------------------------------
None
ctselect - CTA event selection
------------------------------
Use t-type parameters for "tmin" and "tmax" to all specifying times in various
formats (#1864).
ctskymap - CTA sky mapping
--------------------------
Header keywords informing about the dates and times covered by the observations
used to generate the skymap, as well as the event energy range, are now appended
as header keywords to the FITS file (#2194).
Add the RING background method, which is a classical analysis methods for IACT
data analysis, for background subtraction (#2207).
cttsmap - Generation of Test Statistic map
------------------------------------------
Add "statistic" parameter to allow setting of optimizer statistic (#2237).
ctulimit - Compute upper limit
------------------------------
Add "statistic" parameter to allow setting of optimizer statistic (#2237).
support - Support classes
-------------------------
Add ctobservation.obs() method to set an observation container.
cscaldb - Inspect calibration database
--------------------------------------
None
csebins - Generate energy boundaries
------------------------------------
None
csfindobs - Find IACT observations
----------------------------------
None
csiactcopy - Copy IACT observations
-----------------------------------
None
csiactdata - Inspect IACT data store
------------------------------------
None
csiactobs - Inspect IACT observation definition XML file
--------------------------------------------------------
None
cslightcrv - Generate light curve
---------------------------------
The script now derived from the csobservation base class. A "statistic"
parameter was added to allow setting the optimizer statistic for the light
curve generation (#2237).
Use t-type parameters for "tmin" and "tmax" to all specifying times in various
formats (#1864).
csmodelinfo - Return model information
--------------------------------------
None
csmodelmerge - Merge models
---------------------------
None
csmodelselect - Select models
-----------------------------
None
csmodelsois - Puts selected sources in diffuse model cube
---------------------------------------------------------
Add script that replaces selected models in a model container by a diffuse
map cube (#2180).
csobs2caldb - Generate calibration database entry for an IACT observation
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
None
csobsdef - Generate observation definition XML file
---------------------------------------------------
None
csobsinfo - Return observation definition information
-----------------------------------------------------
None
csobsselect - Select observations
---------------------------------
None
csphagen - Generate On/Off observations
---------------------------------------
The script was added to allow the generation of PHA, ARF and RMF datasets for classical On/Off IACT analysis (#2208).
csphasecrv - Generate phase curve
---------------------------------
The script now derived from the csobservation base class. A "statistic"
parameter was added to allow setting the optimizer statistic for the light
curve generation (#2237).
cspull - Generate pull distributions
------------------------------------
The script now handles On/Off observation. The parameters "onsrc" and "onrad"
were added to allow specifying the On region test source and On region radius
(#2260).
The script now derived from the csobservation base class. A "statistic"
parameter was added to allow setting the optimizer statistic for the pull
distribution generation (#2237).
Use t-type parameters for "tmin" and "tmax" to all specifying times in various
formats (#1864).
csresmap - Generate residual map
--------------------------------
None
csroot2caldb - Generates calibration database from ROOT file
------------------------------------------------------------
None
cssens - Computes sensitivity curve
-----------------------------------
The script now derived from the csobservation base class. A "statistic"
parameter was added to allow setting the optimizer statistic for the sensitivity
computation (#2237).
csspec - Generates Spectral Energy Distribution
-----------------------------------------------
The script now derived from the csobservation base class. A "statistic"
parameter was added to allow setting the optimizer statistic for the spectrum
generation (#2237).
The script now can also handle On/Off spectra for SED generation (#2231).
The script now can also handle non-CTA data. For that purpose a "method"
parameter has been introduced that allows to selected between slicing of the data
(method="SLICE"), which is only supported for CTA observations, and replacing of
the spectral model by a node function (method="NODES"). If method="AUTO" the tool
will use "SLICE" for observations containing only CTA data and "NODES" for observations
containing other data (#1927).
cssrcdetect - Detects sources in sky map
----------------------------------------
None
cstsdist - Computes Test Statistic distribution
-----------------------------------------------
The script now derived from the csobservation base class. A "statistic"
parameter was added to allow setting the optimizer statistic for the Test
Statistic distribution generation (#2237).
Use t-type parameters for "tmin" and "tmax" to all specifying times in various
formats (#1864).
cstsmapmerge - Merge Test Statistic maps
----------------------------------------
None
cstsmapsplit - Prepare split Test Statistic computation
-------------------------------------------------------
A "statistic" parameter was added to allow setting the optimizer statistic for
the TS map generation (#2237).
csviscube - Generate visibility cube
------------------------------------
