sherpa.astro.ui.list_response_ids(id=None, bkg_id=None)

  • bkg_id (int or str, optional) – Set this to identify the background component to query.
Returns:

ids – The identifiers for the response information for the data set. In many cases this will just be [1].

Return type:

array of int or str
