redshift_SED

simcado.source.redshift_SED(z, spectrum, mag, filter_name='TC_filter_Ks.dat')

Redshift a SimCADO SED and scale it to a magnitude in a user specified filter

Parameters

z: redshift of the source

spectrum: str, EmissionCurve, optional

The spectrum to be associated with the source. Values can either be: - the name of a SimCADO SED spectrum : see get_SED_names() - an EmissionCurve with a user defined spectrum

mag: magnitude to scale the the SED after redshifting the spectrum

filter_name: filter in which the magnitude is given

Returns

ec: EmissionCurve object

Notes

wavelength and flux of the redshifted spectrum can be accessed with ec.lam and ec.val

the returned object can directly be used in any source function that accepts an EmissionCurve object (source.elliptical, source.spiral, source.point_source)
