Thumbnails of Sherpa Examples (S-Lang)

The examples below are intended to illustrate the various plotting and fitting capabilities of Sherpa, as well as help you transition from the Sherpa 3.4 to 4.1 syntax. Click on a thumbnail plot to view and compare the Sherpa 3.4 and Sherpa 4.1 (S-Lang) scripts used to create it.

See also the List View, in which the examples below are split into Sherpa 1-D and 2-D "Plotting" and "Fitting" categories, with descriptive titles.

[Filtered and     bkg-subtracted 1D PHA data set] [1D PHA data     with fitted model and residuals] [deconvolved 1D PHA data     in photon flux units]
[plot of ARF for     1D imaging data set] [Filtered     and bkg-subtracted 1D PHA data set in wavelength space, with log     scale x-axis] [background for     1D pha data]
[1D     hrcsletg +1/-1 orders] [ACIS     grating orders with simultaneous model fit] [overlapping HRC grating orders with convolved models overlaid]
[PHA image data in ds9] [Image fit     residuals] [Image data, PSF     model, and fit residuals]
[Radial profile plot     of image data] [Radial profile     fit to image data with residuals] [1D beta     model fit to radial profile]
[Interval     projection plot] [Region     projection plot] [Contour     plot of residuals of PSF-convolved model fit]
