Photometer

class cometsuite.instruments.Photometer(rap, scaler=None, normalizer=None, axes=None, bins=None, range=None)

Bases: Instrument

A single-entrance aperture photometer.

Integrate converts sky coordinates to radial offsets.

Parameters:
rapQuantity, optional

The angular radius of the entrance aperture.

scalerScaler or CompositeScaler, optional

A particle scaler.

normalizerScaler or CompositeScaler, optional

Use this scaling function for computing the normalization array n.

axesarray, optional

Additional data axes. See Instrument for details.

binsarray, optional

Specify the bins for the additional axes. See Instrument for details.

rangearray, optional

Specify the range for the additional axes. See Instrument for details.

Attributes:
centerarray

Sky coordinates of the photometer’s center. [degrees]

nndarray

The normalization array, which is by default the number of particles per pixel.

datandarray

The observation data.
