Synopsis
Include a model of the Chandra ACIS pile up when fitting PHA data.
Syntax
set_pileup_model(id, model=None) id - int or str, optional model - an instance of the jdpileup class
Description
Chandra observations of bright sources can be affected by pileup, so that there is a non-linear correlation between the source model and the predicted counts. This process can be modelled by including the `jdpileup` model for a data set, using the `set_pileup_model` .
Example
Plot up the model (an xsphabs model multiplied by a powlaw1d component) and then overplot the same expression but including the effects of pile up in the Chandra ACIS instrument:
>>> load_pha('src.pi')
>>> set_source(xsphabs.gal * powlaw1d.pl)
>>> plot_model()
>>> set_pileup_model(jdpileup.jpd)
>>> plot_model(overplot=True)PARAMETERS
The parameters for this function are:
| Parameter | Definition |
|---|---|
| id | The data set containing the source expression. If not given then the default identifier is used, as returned by `get_default_id` . |
| model |
Notes
The function does not follow the normal Python standards for parameter use, since it is designed for easy interactive use. When called with a single un-named argument, it is taken to be the `model` parameter. If given two un-named arguments, then they are interpreted as the `id` and `model` parameters, respectively.
This is a generic function, and can be used to model other non-linear detector effects, but at present the only available model is for the ACIS pile up provided by the jdpileup model.
