Class FileSpectralElement

spec = FileSpectrum(filename (FITS or ASCII), throughputname=column name containing throughput (for FITS tables only), keepneg=True to override the default behavior of setting negative throughput values to zero)

init(self, filename, thrucol=None)
(Constructor)

source code

Create a bandpass from a file.

Parameters:

filename (string) - FITS or ASCII file containing the bandpass
thrucol (string) - Column name specifying the throughput (FITS only)

Overrides: object.__init__

_readFITS(self, filename, throughputname)

source code

Overrides: TabularSpectralElement._readFITS

_readASCII(self, filename)

source code

Ascii files have no headers. Following synphot, this routine will assume the first column is wavelength in Angstroms, and the second column is throughput in Flam.

Overrides: TabularSpectralElement._readASCII
