- sherpa.astro.instrument.create_non_delta_rmf(rmflo, rmfhi, fname, offset=1, e_min=None, e_max=None, ethresh=None, name='delta-rmf', header=None)[source] [edit on github]
Create a RMF using a matrix from a file.
The RMF matrix (the mapping from channel to energy bin) is read in from a file.
New in version 4.10.1.
- Parameters:
rmflo (array) – The energy bins (low and high, in keV) for the RMF. It is assumed that emfhi_i > rmflo_i, rmflo_j > 0, that the energy bins are either ascending, so rmflo_i+1 > rmflo_i or descending (rmflo_i+1 < rmflo_i), and that there are no overlaps. These correspond to the Elow and Ehigh columns (represented by the ENERG_LO and ENERG_HI columns of the MATRIX block) of the OGIP standard.
rmfhi (array) – The energy bins (low and high, in keV) for the RMF. It is assumed that emfhi_i > rmflo_i, rmflo_j > 0, that the energy bins are either ascending, so rmflo_i+1 > rmflo_i or descending (rmflo_i+1 < rmflo_i), and that there are no overlaps. These correspond to the Elow and Ehigh columns (represented by the ENERG_LO and ENERG_HI columns of the MATRIX block) of the OGIP standard.
fname (str) – The name of the two-dimensional image file which stores the response information (the format of this file matches that created by the CIAO tool rmfimg).
offset (int, optional) – The starting channel number: expected to be 0 or 1 but this is not enforced.
e_min (None or array, optional) – The E_MIN and E_MAX columns of the EBOUNDS block of the RMF.
e_max (None or array, optional) – The E_MIN and E_MAX columns of the EBOUNDS block of the RMF.
ethresh (number or None, optional) – Passed through to the DataRMF call. It controls whether zero-energy bins are replaced.
name (str) – The name of the RMF data set
header (dict) – Header for the created RMF
- Returns:
rmf
- Return type:
DataRMF instance
