create_rad_max_hdu

pyirf.io.create_rad_max_hdu(rad_max, reco_energy_bins, fov_offset_bins, point_like=True, extname='RAD_MAX', **header_cards)

Create a fits binary table HDU in GADF format for the directional cut. See the specification at https://gamma-astro-data-formats.readthedocs.io/en/latest/irfs/point_like/index.html#rad-max

Parameters:

rad_max: astropy.units.Quantity[angle]

Array of the directional (theta) cut. Must have shape (n_reco_energy_bins, n_fov_offset_bins)

reco_energy_bins: astropy.units.Quantity[energy]

Bin edges in reconstructed energy

fov_offset_bins: astropy.units.Quantity[angle]

Bin edges in the field of view offset. For Point-Like IRFs, only giving a single bin is appropriate.

extname: str

Name for BinTableHDU

**header_cards

Additional metadata to add to the header, use this to set e.g. TELESCOP or INSTRUME.
