Description

The main source model definition file is provided in two formats.
- models_gps.xml: readable using GammaLib/ctools, see http://cta.irap.omp.eu/ctools/users/user_manual/models.html
- models_gps.yaml: readable using Gammapy, see https://docs.gammapy.org/1.0.1/tutorials/api/models.html#model-lists-and-serialisation

We provide separately the three alternative interstellar emission models.
- base: IEM_base.fits
- varmin: IEM_varmin.fits.gz
- varmin-rescaled: IEM_varmin_rescaled.fits.gz
To use the interstellar models one can employ:
- GammaLib/ctools, see http://cta.irap.omp.eu/ctools/users/user_manual/models_spatial.html#diffusemapcube
- Gammapy, see https://docs.gammapy.org/dev/tutorials/api/maps.html?highlight=cube%20diffuse#reading-and-writing
