Synopsis
Create an ARF data structure.
Syntax
unpack_arf(arg)
Examples
Example 1
>>> arf1 = unpack_arf("arf1.fits")
>>> arf2 = unpack_arf("arf2.fits")Example 2
Read in an ARF using Crates:
>>> acr = pycrates.read_file("src.arf")
>>> arf = unpack_arf(acr)Example 3
Read in an ARF using AstroPy:
>>> hdus = astropy.io.fits.open("src.arf")
>>> arf = unpack_arf(hdus)PARAMETERS
The parameter for this function is:
| Parameter | Definition |
|---|---|
| arg | Identify the ARF: a file name, or a data structure representing the data to use, as used by the I/O backend in use by Sherpa: a tablecrate for crates, as used by CIAO, or a list of AstroPy HDU objects. |
Notes
The `minimum_energy` setting of the `ogip` section of the Sherpa configuration file determines the behavior when an ARF with a minimum energy of 0 is read in. The default is to replace the 0 by the value 1e-10, which will also cause a warning message to be displayed.
Bugs
See the bugs pages on the Sherpa website for an up-to-date listing of known bugs.
