Observation Model¶
Basics¶
beast.observationmodel.observations Module¶
Defines a generic interface to observation catalog This enables to handle non detections, (upper limits one day?), flux and magnitude conversions to avoid painful preparation of the dataset
Data model v2 with limited quantity units handling
Classes¶
Observations (inputFile[, desc]) |
A generic class that interfaces observation catalog in a standardized way |
FakeObs (inputFile[, desc]) |
Generate a data interface object |
PhotCharact (fname, filters) |
Class Inheritance Diagram¶
beast.observationmodel.phot Module¶
Photometric package¶
Defines a Filter class and associated functions to extract photometry.
This also include functions to keep libraries up to date
Note
integrations are done using trapz()
Why not Simpsons? Simpsons principle is to take sequence of 3 points to
make a quadratic interpolation. Which in the end, when filters have sharp
edges, the error due to this “interpolation” are extremely large in
comparison to the uncertainties induced by trapeze integration.
Functions¶
load_all_filters ([interp, lamb, filterLib]) |

extractPhotometry (lamb, spec, flist[, absFlux]) |
Extract seds from a one single spectrum |
extractSEDs (g0, flist[, absFlux]) |

append_filter (lamb, flux, tablename, …[, …]) |

Noise Model¶
beast.observationmodel.noisemodel.noisemodel Module¶
Classes¶
NoiseModel (astfile, *args, **kwargs) |
Initial class of noise models |
Class Inheritance Diagram¶
beast.observationmodel.noisemodel.toothpick Module¶
Toothpick noise model assumes that every photometric band is independent from the others.
The following package implements two classes that corresponds to two variants of input AST data.
the first MultiFilterASTs
assumes that all AST information is compiled
into on single table, in which one entry corresponds to one artificial star
and recovered values
the second perCameraASTs
assumes that the information is split into
multiple tables, and implements the equivalent of multiple instances of
MultiFilterASTs
in parallel to calculate the model.
Method¶
The noise model is computed in equally spaced bins in log flux space to avoid injecting noise when the ASTs grossly oversample the model space. This is the case for single band ASTs - this is always the case for the BEAST toothpick noise model.
- TODO:
- +++ perCameraASTs has not been updated - delete? Does not work with PHAT single camera ASTs - column names duplicated
Classes¶
MultiFilterASTs (astfile, filters[, vega_fname]) |
Implement a noise model for which input information of ASTs are provided as one single table |
Class Inheritance Diagram¶
beast.observationmodel.noisemodel.trunchen Module¶
Trunchen version of noisemodel Goal is to compute the full 6-band covariance matrix for each model
Classes¶
MultiFilterASTs (astfile, filters, *args, …) |
Implement a noise model where the ASTs are provided as a single table |
Class Inheritance Diagram¶
beast.observationmodel.noisemodel.generic_noisemodel Module¶
Generates a generic noise model from artifical star tests (ASTs) results using the toothpick method. Using ASTs results in a noise model that includes contributions from measurement (photon) noise and crowding noise.
Toothpick assumes that all bands are independent - no covariance. This is a conservative assumption. If there is true covariance more accurate results with smaller uncertainties on fit parameters can be achieved using the trunchen method. The trunchen method requires significantly more complicated ASTs and many more of them.
Functions¶
make_toothpick_noise_model (outname, astfile, …) |
toothpick noise model assumes that every filter is independent with any other. |
get_noisemodelcat (filename) |
returns the noise model |

Generic_ToothPick_Noisemodel (astfile, filters) |
