scale_spectrum_sb

simcado.source.scale_spectrum_sb(lam, spec, mag_per_arcsec, pix_res=0.004, filter_name='Ks', return_ec=False)

Scale a spectrum to be a certain magnitude per arcsec2

Parameters

lamnp.ndarray

[um] The wavelength bins for spectrum

specnp.ndarray

The spectrum to be scaled into [ph/s/m2] for the given broadband filter

mag_per_arcsecfloat

[mag/arcsec2] surface brightness of the source

pix_resfloat

[arcsec] the pixel resolution

filter_namestr, TransmissionCurve

Any filter name from SimCADO or a TransmissionCurve object (see get_filter_set())

return_ecbool, optional

If True, a simcado.spectral.EmissionCurve object is returned. Default is False

Returns

lamnp.ndarray

[um] The centres of the wavelength bins for the new spectrum

specnp.array

[ph/s/m2/pixel] The spectrum scaled to the specified magnitude
