NAME gtsrcprob - Computes source component probabilities for event data. USAGE gtsrcprob evfile scfile outfile srdmdl irfs DESCRIPTION For each event in a photon file, this tool assigns the probabilities that the event belongs to each of the sources in an xml model definition. gtdiffrsp must be run on the input FT1 file prior to using this tool if any diffuse sources are in the model. PARAMETERS evfile [filename] This is the input file containing the event data. (evtable) [string] Event table extension name. Default is "EVENTS". scfile [filename] Spacecraft data file containing information such as the spacecraft pointing as a function of time. This file could be generated by gtorbsim for simulated observations (see gtorbsim help for further explanation) or more commonly it can be obtained from the FSSC website. (sctable) [string] Spacecraft data extension. Default is "SC_DATA". outfile [filename] The output photon file with columns added for each source containing the probabilities. srcmdl [filename] XML file containing the source model definitions. This is the same source model file used by gtlike or the pyLikelihood python tools. evtype [integer] The evtype to be used in generating the background data. The default is INDEF which will use the default in the input file. This can be overridden by entering the desired event type e.g. 3 for FRONT + BACK events. irfs [string] Instrument response functions. The instrument response (PSF, effective area, energy resolution) is currently a function of energy, inclination angle (the angle between the source and the LAT normal) and photon category. Since the LAT will usually survey the sky, a source will be observed at different inclination angles. Each count will therefore be characterized by a different instrument response function (IRF). The default value is the lastest available IRF, e.g. "P7SOURCE_V6". (srclist) [filename] ASCII list of sources to include in the output. When set to "none" (default), probabilities for all sources in the XML file are included in the output. If the user is only interested in a subset of those sources, then in order to save space on output and execution time, that subset may be specified via this file. Each source should be listed on a separate line. (chatter = 2) [integer] This parameter fixes the output verbosity: no screen output (0), nominal screen output (2), maximum verbosity (4). Default is "2". (clobber = yes) [boolean] If true, an existing file of the same name will be overwritten. Default is "yes". (debug = no) [boolean] Activate debugging mode. Default is "no". When debug is "no", all exceptions that are not caught and handled by individual tool-specific code are caught by a top-level exception handler that displays information about the exception and then exits. When debug is "yes", such exceptions are not caught by the top level code. Instead the tool produces a segmentation violation, which is more useful for debugging. When debugging mode is enabled, the tool produces more verbose output describing any errors or exceptions that are encountered. (gui = no) [boolean] Graphical User Interface (GUI) mode is activated if set to "yes". Default is "no". (mode = ql) [string] Mode of automatic parameters: "h" for batch, "ql" for interactive. Default is "ql". EXAMPLES The way that the parameters are passed follows the FTOOLs model. They could be passed by answering from a prompt, as a list in a command line, or by modifying the parameter file. The command line option facilitates calling gtselect from a script. To prompt for gtsrcprob type in the command line: > gtsrcprob This will prompt for parameter values. Not all parameter are prompted: some of them are "hidden". To change one of the "hidden" parameter, the user should specify the values in the command line or modify its mode by editing the parameter file. For example, to prevent overwrite the existing output file, the following command line as to be typed: > gtsrcprob clobber=no This is an example of how to run the tool: It will only compute the probabilities for the sources included in srclist.txt. Setting that to blank will compute the probability for all the sources in the xml model. > gtsrcprob srclist=srclist.txt evfile=input_events.fits \ scfile=input_SC00.fits outfile=output_events.fits\ srcmdl=input_model.xml irfs=P6_V3_DIFFUSE SEE ALSO gtdiffrsp gtorbsim gtlike gtselect
