scopesim.optics.surface_utils module

scopesim.optics.surface_utils.is_flux_binned(unit)

Checks if the (flux) unit is a binned unit

Parameters:

unitUnit

Returns:

flagbool

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

Create an emission SourceSpectrum using 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:

fluxarray-like, Quantity

if flux is not an array, the emission_unit must be in meta dict

wavearray-like, Quantity

if flux is not an array, the wavelength_unit must be in meta dict

metadict

Returns:

fluxsynphot.SourceSpectrum

scopesim.optics.surface_utils.make_emission_from_emissivity(temp, emiss_src_spec)

Create an emission SourceSpectrum using a blackbody and an emissivity curve

Parameters:

tempfloat, Quantity

[Kelvin] If float, then must be in Kelvin

emiss_src_specsynphot.SpectralElement

An emissivity response curve in the range [0..1]

Returns:

fluxsynphot.SourceSpectrum

scopesim.optics.surface_utils.normalise_binned_flux(flux, wave)

Convert a binned flux Quantity array back into flux density

The flux density normalising unit is taken from the wavelength Quantity unit

Parameters:

fluxarray-like Quantity

flux unit must include bin, e.g. ph s-1 m-2 bin-1

wavearray-like Quantity

Returns:

fluxarray-like Quantity
