New Features and Important Changes in ctools 1.0.1 Author(s) : Juergen Knoedlseder 27 January 2016 1. Introduction --------------- This document briefly summarizes executable by executable the most important changes made since the last release of ctools. 2. Configuration ----------------- If ctools is compiled on Mavericks (Mac OS X 10.9) or newer but Python has been compiled for an earlier deployment target, a compatibility issue arises due to the way how class names are mangled by the compiler. This is now automatically detected and fixed, which should solve some compatibility issues that have been encountered by user using the Anaconda package on Mac OS X. 3. Python interface ------------------- None 4. Support model ---------------- None 5. ctobssim - CTA observation simulation ---------------------------------------- None 6. ctselect - CTA event selection --------------------------------- None 7. ctbin - CTA event binning ---------------------------- None 8. ctlike - Maximum likelihood fitting -------------------------------------- None 9. cttsmap - Generation of Test Statistics map ---------------------------------------------- None 10. ctskymap - CTA sky mapping ------------------------------ None 11. ctmodel - CTA counts cube modelling --------------------------------------- The get_obs() method, that has been accidently removed, has been put back which allows computation of a model cube for a stacked analysis. Another bug was corrected that led to the generation of model cubes with a single pixel, related to an internal change of the logic in how input information was handled. This fixes issue #1609. 12. ctexpcube - CTA exposure cube generation -------------------------------------------- None 13. ctpsfcube - CTA point spread function cube generation --------------------------------------------------------- None 14. ctbkgcube - CTA background cube generation ---------------------------------------------- None 15. ctcubemask - CTA cube filtering ----------------------------------- None 16. ctbutterfly - Generate butterfly diagrams --------------------------------------------- None 17. ctulimit - Compute upper limit ---------------------------------- None 18. cterror - Likelihood profile error computation -------------------------------------------------- None 19. cscripts ------------ None 20. Examples ------------ None 21. caldb --------- None 22. models ---------- None
