Package pysynphot :: Module newobservation :: Class Observation

Class Observation

An Observation is the end point of a chain of spectral manipulation. The normal means of creating an Observation is by means of the .observe method on a SpectralElement.

Instance Methods

[hide private]

__init__(self, spec, band, binset=None)
The normal means of producing an Observation is by means of the .observe() method on the spectral element.

source code

initbinset(self, binset=None)

source code

initbinflux(self)
This routine performs the integration of the spectrum on the specified binned waveset.

source code

_getBinfluxProp(self)

source code

__mul__(self, other)
Source Spectra can be multiplied, by constants or by SpectralElement objects.

source code

__rmul__(self, other)

source code

__add__(self, other)
Source Spectra can be added.

source code

__radd__(self, other)

source code

redshift(self, z)
Returns a new redshifted spectrum.

source code

writefits(self, fname, clobber=True, trimzero=True, binned=True)
All we really want to do here is flip the default value of 'binned' from the vanilla spectrum case.

source code

countrate(self, binned=True)
This is the calculation performed when the ETC invokes countrate.

source code

pivot(self)
This is the calculation performed when the ETC invokes calcphot.

source code

efflam(self)
Calculation performed based on observation.py _EfflamCalculator, which produces EFFLPHOT results!.

Method Details

init(self, spec, band, binset=None)
(Constructor)

source code

The normal means of producing an Observation is by means of the .observe() method on the spectral element.

Overrides: object.__init__

initbinflux(self)

source code

This routine performs the integration of the spectrum on the specified binned waveset. It uses the natural waveset of the spectrum in performing this integration.

mul(self, other)

source code

Source Spectra can be multiplied, by constants or by SpectralElement objects.

Overrides: spectrum.SourceSpectrum.__mul__: (inherited documentation)

rmul(self, other)

source code

Overrides: spectrum.SourceSpectrum.__rmul__

add(self, other)
(Addition operator)

source code

Source Spectra can be added. Delegate the work to the CompositeSourceSpectrum class.

Overrides: spectrum.SourceSpectrum.__add__: (inherited documentation)

redshift(self, z)

source code

Returns a new redshifted spectrum.

Overrides: spectrum.SourceSpectrum.redshift: (inherited documentation)

writefits(self, fname, clobber=True, trimzero=True, binned=True)

source code

All we really want to do here is flip the default value of 'binned' from the vanilla spectrum case.

Overrides: spectrum.SourceSpectrum.writefits

countrate(self, binned=True)

source code

This is the calculation performed when the ETC invokes countrate. Essentially it wants the effstim in counts. However, it also wants the pivot wavelength returned to it in the same call.

pivot(self)

source code

This is the calculation performed when the ETC invokes calcphot. Does this need to be calculated on binned waveset, or may it be calculated on native waveset?
