ctapipe is not stable yet, so expect large and rapid changes to structure and functionality as we explore various design choices before the 1.0 release.

MuonIntensityFitter#

class ctapipe.image.MuonIntensityFitter(**kwargs: Any)[source]#

Bases: TelescopeComponent

Fit muon ring images with a theoretical model to estimate optical efficiency.

Function for producing the expected image for a given set of trial muon parameters without using astropy units but expecting the input to be in the correct ones.

The image prediction function is currently modeled after [CCdNT13].

For more information, also see [GFM+19].
