scopesim.source.source_templates.uniform_source

scopesim.source.source_templates.uniform_source(sp=None, extent=60)

Simplified form of scopesim_templates.misc.uniform_source, mostly intended for testing

This function creates an image with extend^2 pixels with pixel size of 1 arcsec^2 so provided amplitudes are in flux or magnitudes per arcsec^2

It accepts any synphot.SourceSpectrum compatible object

spsynphot.SourceSpectrum

defaults to vega_spectrum() with magnitude 0 mag/arcsec2

extentint, default 60

extension of the field in arcsec, will always produce a square field. Default value produces a field of 60x60 arcsec
