Description

Add a method to GCTABackground that computes the expected event rate in units of counts / steradians / seconds within a given energy interval. The proposed interface for the method is 

double rate_ebin(const GCTAInstDir& dir, const GEnergy& emin, const GEnergy& emax);
The method is pure virtual and implemented at the level of the derived classes.

Recurrence

No recurrence.

History

#1 Updated by Knödlseder Jürgen about 6 years ago

  • Status changed from New to In Progress
  • % Done changed from 0 to 10

Add the method

gammalib::plaw_integral(double&, double&, double&, double&)
to the GMath module that analytically integrates a power law.

#2 Updated by Knödlseder Jürgen about 6 years ago

Add the

double atan2(const double& y, const double& x)
method to compute the arc tangens in radians.

In addition, add

GCTAInstDir::theta()
GCTAInstDir::phi()
methods that return the offset and azimuth angles in instrument coordinates in radians.

#3 Updated by Knödlseder Jürgen about 6 years ago

  • % Done changed from 10 to 80

A GCTABackground::rate_ebin() method was added to the abstract interface and implemented for GCTABackgroundPerfTable and GCTABackground3D. Unit tests were added to the C++ test class that test both classes and in particular the new rate_ebin() methods. Results look satisfactory.
