ObservationBlockContainer#

class ctapipe.containers.ObservationBlockContainer(prefix=None, **fields)[source]#

Stores information about the observation

Attributes:

obs_idField(default=18446744073709551615): Observation Block ID
sb_idField(default=18446744073709551615, type=uint64): ID of the parent SchedulingBlock
producer_idField(default=unknown, type=str): Origin of the obs_id, i.e. name of the telescope site or ‘simulation’
stateField(default=ObservationBlockState.UNKNOWN, type=ObservationBlockState): State of this OB
subarray_pointing_latField(default=nan deg, unit=deg): latitude of the nominal center coordinate of this observation
subarray_pointing_lonField(default=nan deg, unit=deg): longitude of the nominal center coordinate of this observation
subarray_pointing_frameField(default=CoordinateFrameType.UNKNOWN, type=CoordinateFrameType): Frame in which the subarray_target is non-moving. If the frame is ALTAZ, the meaning of (lon,lat) is (azimuth, altitude) while for ICRS it is (right-ascension, declination)
scheduled_durationField(default=nan min, unit=min): expected duration from scheduler
scheduled_start_timeField(default=0.0): expected start time from scheduler
actual_start_timeField(default=0.0): true start time
actual_durationField(default=nan min, unit=min): true duration
metadict: dict of attached metadata
prefixstr: Prefix attached to column names when saved to a table or file
