Synopsis
Return the background for a PHA data set.
Syntax
get_bkg(id=None, bkg_id=None) id - int or str, optional bkg_id - int or str, optional
Description
Function to return the background for a PHA data set. The object returned by the call can be used to query and change properties of the background.
Examples
Example 1
>>> bg = get_bkg()
Example 2
>>> bg = get_bkg('flare', 2)PARAMETERS
The parameters for this function are:
| Parameter | Definition |
|---|---|
| id | The data set. If not given then the default identifier is used, as returned by `get_default_id` . |
| bkg_id | The identifier for this background, which is needed if there are multiple background estimates for the source. |
