Welcome to easyfermi’s documentation!

The graphical interface easyfermi provides a user-friendly way to analyze Fermi-LAT data, making use of fermipy, gammapy, astropy, and emcee.

easyfermi allows for several different analysis on Fermi-LAT data, such as:

  • Modeling of the region of interest (RoI) using the Binned likelihood analsyis.

  • Generating TS and residual maps for the RoI.

  • Extracting a spectral energy distribution (SED) for a target.

  • Correcting an SED for EBL absorption.

  • Generating a light curve for a target (adaptive or constant time bins).

  • Localizing a source or fitting its spatial extension.

  • Fitting several SED models with a MCMC approach.

Check out the Usage section for further information, including the GUI Installation.

Acknowledging easyfermi

To acknowledge easyfermi in a publication please cite de Menezes, R. 2022.

Since easyfermi relies on fermipy, gammapy, astropy, and emcee, please also cite Wood et al. 2017, Donath et al. 2023, Astropy Collaboration et al. 2018, and Foreman-Mackey et al. 2013.

The EBL models adopted in easyfermi are from:

If you make use of one of these models in your publication, please cite the corresponding paper.
