v1.1.0

Installation

• Basemap is now not required upon installation for most use cases. Some functionality is missing without Basemap: EarthPlot, some plotting functions in SkyPlot, and some lower-level plotting functions. See install instructions. For a future release, we are investigating a move to Cartopy.

Data Module

• Fixed errors in loading poshist files prior to May 2009

• gbm.data.Trigdat:

  • Fixed conversion of Trigdat data to PHAII data when using sum_detectors()

  • Fixed triggered_detectors attribute for files prior to March 2010

• Fixed slice_energy() for continuous TTE files

• RSP:

  • Added resample() to resample the photon axis of the DRM

  • Added rebin() to rebin the channel axis of the DRM

  • Added effective_area() to calculate the effective area at an arbitrary energy

  • Fixed error when extracting DRMs or performing operations on responses that have no atmospheric scattering response included

---

Simulations Module

• Fixed import of gbm.simulate

• Handle zero-count spectrum in EventSpectrumGenerator

---

Spectra Module

• Fixed behavior when using P-stat to fit data with zero-count channels

• Fixed behavior when using C-stat to fit data with zero-count channels

• Fixed behavior of SpectralFitterPgstat where background rates were incorrectly calculated

• Fixed calculation of model variance

---

Plotting Module

• Added ability to plot only the total spectral model for multi-component spectral fits in ModelFit

• Added ModelFit.view property containing the current view

---

Utilities

• Fixed behavior of specifying the dets detector list kwarg in ContinuousFtp.get_tte

---

Documentation

• Updates to existing API documentation resulting from the above changes

• Updated tutorial on GBM Responses

• Added new tutorial on GBM Spectral Catalog Files
