scopesim.optics.surface_utils.make_emission_from_array(flux, wave, meta) → SourceSpectrum

Create an emission SourceSpectrum using an array.

Takes care of bins and solid angles. The solid_angle is kept in the returned SourceSpectrum meta dictionary under self.meta[“solid_angle”].

Parameters:

• flux (array-like, Quantity) – if flux is not an array, the emission_unit must be in meta dict

• wave (array-like, Quantity) – if flux is not an array, the wavelength_unit must be in meta dict

• meta (dict)

Returns:

flux

Return type:

synphot.SourceSpectrum
