set_gaussian_source#

tilepy.include.CampaignDefinition.set_gaussian_source(obspar, ra, dec, sigma, name='gaussian_event')[source] [edit on github]#

Configure an ObservationParameters instance to use a simulated Gaussian probability map.

Parameters:

  • obspar (ObservationParameters) – The instance to configure.

  • ra (float) – Right Ascension of the source in degrees.

  • dec (float) – Declination of the source in degrees.

  • sigma (float) – Standard deviation (1-sigma) of the Gaussian in degrees.

  • name (str, optional) – Event name to assign if not already set (default is “gaussian_event”).

Returns:

This function modifies obspar in place and returns nothing.

Return type:

None

Example

>>> obspar = ObservationParameters()
>>> set_gaussian_source(obspar, ra=180.0, dec=30.0, sigma=2.5)
>>> print(obspar.mode)
