ctaplot¶

ctaplot is a collection of functions to make instrument response functions (IRF) and reconstruction quality-checks plots for Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes such as CTA

Given a list of reconstructed and simulated quantities, compute and plot the Instrument Response Functions:

angular resolution
energy resolution
effective surface
impact point resolution

You may find examples in the documentation.

The CTA instrument response functions data used in ctaplot come from the CTA Consortium and Observatory and may be found on the cta-observatory website .

In cases for which the CTA instrument response functions are used in a research project, we ask to add the following acknowledgement in any resulting publication:

“This research has made use of the CTA instrument response functions provided by the CTA Consortium and Observatory, see http://www.cta-observatory.org/science/cta-performance/ (version prod3b-v1) for more details.”
