Module Hierarchy

• pysynphot: Package: Astrolib Pysynphot
  • pysynphot.catalog
  • pysynphot.client: Defines a Client class that can be used to communicate with the Server class defined in server.py.
  • pysynphot.etc: Module intended to replace the existing etc interface with the refactored user interface.
  • pysynphot.extinction
  • pysynphot.locations
  • pysynphot.obsbandpass: The ObsBandpass user interface needs to support either the usual (acs,hrc,f555w) obsmode style that produce a set of chained throughput files; or something like (johnson,v) that has a single throughput file.
  • pysynphot.observation: This will ultimately replace the observation.py module.
  • pysynphot.observationmode
  • pysynphot.planck
  • pysynphot.renorm: Segregate all the renormalization functions here.
  • pysynphot.server: This module contains the machinery necessary to run a server.
  • pysynphot.spark
  • pysynphot.spectrum: Module: spectrum.py
  • pysynphot.spparser
  • pysynphot.units: Units class hierarchy: is used to manage both wavelength and flux unit conversions
  • pysynphot.wavetable: This module handles the wavecat.dat table presently used by the synphot countrate task (and thus the ETC) to select an appropriate wavelength set for a given obsmode.
