LSTOSA: Onsite processing pipeline for the CTA Larged-Sized Telescope prototype

The prototype of the Large-Sized Telescope (LST) of the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is presently going through its commissioning phase. A total of four LSTs, among others, will operate together at Observatorio del Roque de Los Muchachos, which will host the CTA North site. A computing center endowed with 1760 cores and several petabytes disk space is installed onsite. It is used to acquire, process, and analyze the data produced, at a rate of 3~TB/hour during operation. The LST On-site Analysis LSTOSA is a set of scripts written in Python which connects the different steps of lstchain, the analysis pipeline developed for the LST. It processes the data in a semiautomatic way producing high-level data and quality plots including detailed provenance logs. Data are analyzed before the next observation night to help in the commissioning procedure and debugging.

Gammapy - A prototype for the CTA science tools

Gammapy is a Python package for high-level gamma-ray data analysis built on Numpy, Scipy and Astropy. It enables us to analyze gamma-ray data and to create sky images, spectra and lightcurves, from event lists and instrument response information, and to determine the position, morphology and spectra of gamma-ray sources. So far Gammapy has mostly been used to analyze data from H.E.S.S. and Fermi-LAT, and is now being used for the simulation and analysis of observations from the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA). We have proposed Gammapy as a prototype for the CTA science tools. This contribution gives an overview of the Gammapy package and project and shows an analysis application example with simulated CTA data.
