Description
With the evolution of very high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray astronomy, new tools for data analysis are being developed. One of these new tools is Gammapy, a python-package for gamma-ray analysis. In this contribution we will present the preliminary status of an automatic Gammapy-based pipeline able to handle complex regions including multiple point-like and extended gamma-ray sources. This pipeline is being developed with the aim of becoming a public tool for VHE analysis. So far, it has been applied and tested for the ASTRI Mini-Array, a Cherenkov telescope array currently under construction at the Teide Observatory that will consist of nine Cherenkov telescopes, each of them with a diameter of 4.3 metres. In this contribution, the results of the first tests performed using a dedicated set of ASTRI Mini-Array simulations will be presented. A 19º x 7º area around the Cygnus constellation was chosen in order to optimise the pipeline, since this is one of the most crowded and complex Galactic regions at energies above 1 TeV. The simulated region includes 8 point-like and 6 extended sources, in addition to the diffuse emission in the field of view.
