class pyirf.simulations.SimulatedEventsInfo(n_showers, energy_min, energy_max, max_impact, spectral_index, viewcone_min, viewcone_max)

Bases: object

Information about all simulated events, for calculating event weights.

Attributes:

n_showers: int

Spectral Index of the simulated power law with sign included.

viewcone_min: u.Quantity[angle]

Inner angle of the viewcone

viewcone_max: u.Quantity[angle]

Outer angle of the viewcone

Methods Documentation

calculate_n_showers_per_energy(energy_bins)

Calculate number of showers that were simulated in the given energy intervals

This assumes the events were generated and from a powerlaw like CORSIKA simulates events.

Parameters:

energy_bins: astropy.units.Quantity[energy]

The interval edges for which to calculate the number of simulated showers

Returns:

n_showers: numpy.ndarray

The expected number of events inside each of the energy_bins. This is a floating point number. The actual numbers will follow a poissionian distribution around this expected value.

calculate_n_showers_per_energy_and_fov(energy_bins, fov_bins)

Calculate number of showers that were simulated in the given energy and fov bins.

This assumes the events were generated uniformly distributed per solid angle, and from a powerlaw in energy like CORSIKA simulates events.

Parameters:

energy_bins: astropy.units.Quantity[energy]

The energy bin edges for which to calculate the number of simulated showers

fov_bins: astropy.units.Quantity[angle]

The FOV bin edges for which to calculate the number of simulated showers

Returns:

n_showers: numpy.ndarray(ndim=2)

The expected number of events inside each of the energy_bins and fov_bins. Dimension (n_energy_bins, n_fov_bins) This is a floating point number. The actual numbers will follow a poissionian distribution around this expected value.

calculate_n_showers_per_fov(fov_bins)

Calculate number of showers that were simulated in the given fov bins.

This assumes the events were generated uniformly distributed per solid angle, like CORSIKA simulates events with the VIEWCONE option.

Parameters:

fov_bins: astropy.units.Quantity[angle]

The FOV bin edges for which to calculate the number of simulated showers

Returns:

n_showers: numpy.ndarray(ndim=2)

The expected number of events inside each of the fov_bins. This is a floating point number. The actual numbers will follow a poissionian distribution around this expected value.
