Triple-Gauss PSF format
I've added a formula for the triple-Gauss PSF: http://gamma-astro-data-formats.readthedocs.org/en/latest/irfs/psf/psf_3gauss/index.html as well as some background info on radial PSFs: http://gamma-astro-data-formats.readthedocs.org/en/latest/irfs/psf/index.html#point-spread-function
I think some discussion / checks are needed:
- [ ] Is the formula correct? I took it from the HAP code that fits the PSF and added the
1/pi
factor to go fromdP/dr^2
(which is what HAP fits) todP/d\Omega
(which is what Fermi and OGIP use as PSF value). - [ ] Is there a more sane / stable parametrisation for multi-Gauss (look what PSFEx do) that we want to adopt?
- [ ] Can the presentation / explanations be improved?
- [x] @mimayer - Does the PA exporter use the same parametrisation? ==> there is no 3-gauss exporter in PA.
- [x] @JouvinLea - Do you use multi-Gauss in HAP-FR exporters? Same parametrisation? ===> This is work in progress, HAP-FR can put whatever we decide here.
- [ ] I'd like to check the Gammapy code
- [ ] @mimayer - Is gammalib.GCTAPsf2D consistent with this definition?
