Gammapy poster for ICRC 2017

Gammapy

A Python Package for Gamma-ray Astronomy.

Gammapy is an open-source Python package for gamma-ray astronomy built on Numpy, Scipy and Astropy. It is used as core library for the Science Analysis tools of the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA), recommended by the H.E.S.S. collaboration to be used for Science publications, and is already widely used in the analysis of existing gamma-ray instruments, such as MAGIC, VERITAS and HAWC.

Contributing Code, Documentation, or Feedback

The Gammapy Project is made both by and for its users, so we welcome and encourage contributions of many kinds. Our goal is to keep this a positive, inclusive, successful, and growing community by abiding with the Gammapy Community Code of Conduct.

The Gammapy project uses a mechanism known as a Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO). The DCO is a binding statement that asserts that you are the creator of your contribution, and that you wish to allow Gammapy to use your work to cite you as contributor. More detailed information on contributing to the project or submitting feedback can be found on the Contributing page.

Licence

Gammapy is licensed under a 3-clause BSD style license - see the LICENSE.rst file.

Supporting the project

The Gammapy project is not sponsored and the development is made by the staff of the institutes supporting the project over their research time. Any contribution is then encouraged, as punctual or regular contributor.

icrc2017-gammapy-poster's Issues

Minor comments

Poster

• Abstract and Getting started blocks: "For further information, visit docs.gammapy.org and follow the links to 'tutorials' and "CTA'". I do not find the link "CTA" in http://docs.gammapy.org
• In general, keep in the poster the final version of the text written in the proceedings. (i.e. suggestions from Antonio Stamerra and Lars)

Proceedings

• Introduction: "...southern (Chile) an one in the northern (La Palma)..." -> "...southern (Chile) an one in the northern (La Palma, Spain)..."
• Gammapy package: Second paragraph "An example script [...] www.iausofa.org." is specially hard to follow
• Gammapy package: "Gammapy aims to be a base package [...] can build."-> "Gammapy aims to be a base package for VHE analysis. More specialized packages such as Fermipy (github.com/fermipy/fermipy) for Fermi-LAT data analysis or Naima [15] for the modeling of non-thermal spectral energy distributions of astrophysical sources could leverage and built on Gammapy functionalities."

Comments by Roberta on poster

I got these comments by @robertazanin a week ago on the poster draft (before the proceeding was written) that we should discuss and decide on in the telcon today at 4 pm:

1. Generally, I am missing some nice picture… Why don’t we show the Crab image with HESS data and its corresponding spectrum? You could refer to it when you say that the software is going to be tested on existing data.

2. Don’t we want to mention that gammapy can be used also for fermi analysis and it will allowed for joint fits of Fermi+anay IACT data?

3. I personally do not see the point of figure 2. Better to put a spectrum or another image.

4. why don’t we say that we have also the 3D analysis? Everything is under development.

5. I would also mention that you already have a 30?-people community of developers.

6. Does it make sense to have a sentence on the maintanability of the software?

Reference Figure 3 from somewhere in the text on the poster

This is a suggestion by @jjlk for the poster: reference Figure 3 somewhere from the text on the poster.

I agree.

In the current poster text it's hard to find a good place, but I guess if we keep the poster sections as-is, the application example should appear at end of the "behind the scenes" section (which should probably be renamed then)

Something to be discussed in the telcon, or @jjlk - maybe you have a suggestion already?

Suggestions by Lars on poster

@LarsMohrmann comments on the poster via mail: the text is hard to read. suggests to change to a serif font and / or reduce text and increase size of figures.

Fix bibliography formatting

Comment by Julien and Catherine:

beware, all the arxiv references are WRONG

- ref 3: arxiv should be within []
- ref 5: Lefaucheur
- ref 10: 1507.03989
- ref 11: 1509.03319
- ref 12: Chandra
- ref 14: LSST and with Astropy
- ref 15: 1606.00393
- ref 16: 1507.08343
- ref 17: 1610.01884
- ref 23: 1509.07408

I've done ref 5 just now. For the others, I don't know how to do it, I'm not good with LaTeX.
The ArXiV identifiers and the capitalisation are OK in the bibtex file.
So there must be some issue with this:

\bibliographystyle{JHEP}

icrc2017-gammapy-poster/proceeding/gammapy-icrc2017.tex

Line 363 in a0a557f

\bibliographystyle{JHEP}

@jjlk - Can you implement a fix or workaround? Or do you have a suggestion what to try?

Refer to Gammapy-related posters

Comment by @bkhelifi a few days ago via email: refer from this Gammapy poster to the four other ICRC posters using Gammapy:

I agree that we should do that, but I need to know the ICRC ID numbers to do it.

@jjlk @robertazanin @ctrichard @leajouvin -- please comment here what the IDs of your ICRC contributions are!

Comments by Antonio Stammera

We have received comments by Antonio Stammera for the official CTA SAPO review:

https://portal.cta-observatory.org/Bodies/SAPO/Lists/Contributions/Item/displayifs.aspx?List=5c13b9ae-d45a-4ca5-bd82-fecc4e28bb43&ID=857&Web=7107e18d-b8af-474d-ac5d-0769750183d4

I'm not posting a copy here because it's confidential, but this is the most important set of comments to discuss in the 4pm telcon today and to try and address and write a reply to by tomorrow morning latest (ideally tonight).

Author / affiliation updates

I'm aware of the follwing updates needed to the authors / affiliations:

• Add Catherine on poster
• Add Arjun on poster
• Jason: change affiliation MPIK -> University of Oxford
• Update affiliation on poster as here: https://github.com/gammapy/icrc2017-gammapy-poster/pull/7/files

If there's something else, please comment here!
