Methods Documentation

close()

Close the file

column(hdu_num: int, col_name: str) → array

Return a column from an HDU as an array.

Parameters:

• hdu_num (int) – The HDU number

• col_name (str) – The name of the column

Returns:

(np.array)

columns_as_array(hdu_num: int, col_names: List[str], dtype: dtype = None) → array

Return a list of columns from an HDU as an array.

Parameters:

• hdu_num (int) – The HDU number

• col_names (list of str) – The names of the columns

• dtype (np.dtype, optional) – The custom dtype of the output array

Returns:

(np.array)

classmethod from_data(data, gti=None, trigger_time=None, filename=None, headers=None, channel_mask=None, header_type=<class 'gdt.missions.swift.bat.headers.PhaHeaders'>, **kwargs)

Create a PHA object from an EnergyBins object.

Parameters:

• data (EnergyBins) – The PHA count spectrum data

• gti (Gti), optional) – The good time intervals of the pectrum data. If omitted, then assumes the range (0, exposure).

• trigger_time (float, optional) – The trigger time, if applicable. If provided, the data times will be shifted relative to the trigger time. Default is zero.

• headers (FileHeaders) – The file headers

• channel_mask (np.array(dtype=bool)) – A boolean array representing the valid channels. If omitted, assumes all non-zero count channels are valid.

• header_type (FileHeaders) – Default file header class. Only used if headers is not defined

Returns:

(Pha)

get_column_names(hdu_num: int)

Get the column names in a HDU. Returns empty if there is no data extension in the HDU.

Parameters:

hdu_num (int) – The HDU number

Returns:

(tuple)

classmethod open(file_path, **kwargs)

Open a BAT Pha FITS file and return the BatPha object

Parameters:

file_path (str) – The file path of the FITS file

Returns:

(BatPha)

rebin_energy(method, *args, energy_range=(None, None), **kwargs)

Rebin the PHA in energy given a rebinning method.

Parameters:

• method (<function>) – The rebinning function

• *args – Arguments to be passed to the rebinning function

• energy_range ((float, float), optional) – The starting and ending energy to rebin. If omitted, uses the full range of data. Setting start or end to None will use the data from the beginning or end of the data, respectively.

Returns

(Pha)

slice_energy(energy_ranges, **kwargs)

Slice the PHA by one or more energy ranges. Produces a new PHA object.

Parameters:

energy_ranges ([(float, float), ...]) – The energy ranges to slice the data to.

Returns:

(Pha)

write(directory: Union[str, Path], filename: str = None, **kwargs)

Write the file to disk.

Parameters:

• directory (str) – The directory to write the file.

• filename (str, optional) – The filename. If omitted, attempts to use the filename if set.
