class icecube_tools.detector.effective_area.Braun2008AeffReader(filename)

Bases: IceCubeAeffReader

Reader for the Braun+2008 paper effective area Fig. 3, 140-150 deg. Braun, J. et al., 2008. Methods for point source analysis in high energy neutrino telescopes. Astroparticle Physics, 29(4), pp.299–305.

class icecube_tools.detector.effective_area.EffectiveArea(filename, **kwargs)

Bases: object

IceCube effective area.

detection_probability(true_energy, true_cos_zenith, max_energy)

Give the relative detection probability for a given true energy and arrival direction.

classmethod from_dataset(dataset_id, period='IC86_II', fetch=True, **kwargs)

Build effective area from a public dataset.

If relevant, uses the latest effective area within a dataset. Some datasets have multiple effective areas.

Parameters:

• dataset_id – Date of dataset release e.g. 20181018

• period – For 20210126, which period should be used. Defaults to IC86_II (most recent)

• fetch – If true, download dataset if not existing

get_reader(**kwargs)

Define an IceCubeAeffReader based on the filename.

supported_datasets = ['20131121', '20150820', '20181018', '20210126']
