ctools 1.3 release (7 June 2017)

Overview

ctools 1.3 is a major release that adds significant functionality.

In particular, this release provides:

  • ctphase for phasing events

  • ctprob for event probabilities

  • csebins for an automatic computation of an optimal energy binning

Bug fixes

  • [2121] - Correct covariance matrix computation in ctbutterfly

  • [2114] - Add missing *.i SWIG file into release tarball

  • Use correct ROOT histograms in csroot2caldb

  • [1987] - Copy cscripts into bin directory instead of creating a symbolic links

  • [1983] - Raise exception instead of exiting with return code in Python tests

  • Support of map cubes lying outside RoI in ctobssim

  • [1975] - Consider RoI in ctskymap and use numerical integration for IRF

  • [1652] - ctbkgcube throws exception if no background model is found

  • [1370] - Set local language to english

Improvements

  • [1996] - Add phase parameter to ctselect

  • [1989] - Implement regression scheme in cssens and remove num_avg parameter

  • [1985] - If code originates from Git, always compile the Python bindings

  • [1978] - Support energy boundary FITS file in ctmapcube

  • [1863] - ctlike stores covariance matrix in either CSV or FITS format

  • [1862] - Implement Gaussian error propagation in ctbutterfly

  • [1483] - ctobssim adds Monte Carlo identifiers to simulated events

  • Enhance logfile output of csroot2caldb script

  • Set default deadc value to 0.98 (CTA has <2% deadtime)
