add_model(model: str, wavel_range: Optional[Tuple[float, float]] = None, spec_res: Optional[float] = None, teff_range: Optional[Tuple[float, float]] = None) → None[source]

Method for adding a grid of model spectra to the database. All spectra have been resampled to logarithmically-spaced wavelengths. The spectral resolution is returned with the get_spec_res() method of ReadModel, but is typically of the order of several thousand. It should be noted that the original spectra were often calculated with a constant step size in wavenumber, so the original spectral resolution decreased from short to long wavelengths.

Parameters

  • model (str) – Model name (‘ames-cond’, ‘ames-dusty’, ‘atmo’, ‘bt-settl’, ‘bt-settl-cifist’, ‘bt-nextgen’, ‘drift-phoenix’, ‘petitcode-cool-clear’, ‘petitcode-cool-cloudy’, ‘petitcode-hot-clear’, ‘petitcode-hot-cloudy’, ‘exo-rem’, ‘blackbody’, bt-cond’, ‘bt-cond-feh, ‘morley-2012’, ‘sonora-cholla’, ‘sonora-bobcat’, ‘sonora-bobcat-co’).

  • wavel_range (tuple(float, float), None) – Wavelength range (um) for adding a subset of the spectra. The full wavelength range is used if the argument is set to None.

  • spec_res (float, None) – Spectral resolution to which the spectra will be resampled. This parameter is optional since the spectra have already been resampled to a lower, constant resolution (typically \(R = 5000\)). The argument is only used if wavel_range is not None.

  • teff_range (tuple(float, float), None) – Effective temperature range (K) for adding a subset of the model grid. The full parameter grid will be added if the argument is set to None.

Returns

None

Return type

NoneType

add_object(object_name: str, distance: Optional[Tuple[float, float]] = None, app_mag: Optional[Dict[str, Union[Tuple[float, float], List[Tuple[float, float]]]]] = None, flux_density: Optional[Dict[str, Tuple[float, float]]] = None, spectrum: Optional[Dict[str, Tuple[str, Optional[str], Optional[float]]]] = None, deredden: Union[Dict[str, float], float] = None, verbose: bool = True) → None[source]

Function for adding the photometric and/or spectroscopic data of an object to the database.

Parameters

  • object_name (str) – Object name that will be used as label in the database.

  • distance (tuple(float, float), None) – Distance and uncertainty (pc). Not stored if set to None.

  • app_mag (dict, None) – Dictionary with the filter names, apparent magnitudes, and uncertainties. For example, {'Paranal/NACO.Lp': (15., 0.2), 'Paranal/NACO.Mp': (13., 0.3)}. For the use of duplicate filter names, the magnitudes have to be provided in a list, for example {'Paranal/NACO.Lp': [(15., 0.2), (14.5, 0.5)], 'Paranal/NACO.Mp': (13., 0.3)}. No photometric data is stored if set to None.

  • flux_density (dict, None) – Dictionary with filter names, flux densities (W m-2 um-1), and uncertainties (W m-1 um-1). For example, {'Paranal/NACO.Lp': (1e-15, 1e-16)}. Currently, the use of duplicate filters is not implemented. The use of app_mag is preferred over flux_density because with flux_density only fluxes are stored while with app_mag both magnitudes and fluxes. However, flux_density can be used in case the magnitudes and/or filter profiles are not available. In that case, the fluxes can still be selected with inc_phot in FitModel. The argument of flux_density is ignored if set to None.

  • spectrum (dict, None) – Dictionary with the spectrum, optional covariance matrix, and spectral resolution for each instrument. The input data can either have a FITS or ASCII format. The spectra should have 3 columns with wavelength (um), flux (W m-2 um-1), and uncertainty (W m-2 um-1). The covariance matrix should be 2D with the same number of wavelength points as the spectrum. For example, {'SPHERE': ('spectrum.dat', 'covariance.fits', 50.)}. No covariance data is stored if set to None, for example, {'SPHERE': ('spectrum.dat', None, 50.)}. The spectrum parameter is ignored if set to None. For GRAVITY data, the same FITS file can be provided as spectrum and covariance matrix.

  • deredden (dict, float, None) – Dictionary with spectrum and app_mag names that will de dereddened with the provided A_V. For example, deredden={'SPHERE': 1.5, 'Keck/NIRC2.J': 1.5} will deredden the provided spectrum named ‘SPHERE’ and the Keck/NIRC2 J-band photometry with a visual extinction of 1.5. For photometric fluxes, the filter-averaged extinction is used for the dereddening.

  • verbose (bool) – Print details on the object data that are added to the database.

The computation time for adding Teff will be long because the spectra need to be calculated and integrated for all samples.

  • tag (str) – Tag name in the database.

  • filename (str) – Filename with the isochrones data.

Returns

None

Return type

species.data.kesseli2017.add_kesseli2017(input_path: str, database: h5py._hl.files.File) → None[source]

Function for adding the SDSS stellar spectra from Kesseli et al. (2017) to the database.

Parameters

  • input_path (str) – Path of the data folder.

  • database (h5py._hl.files.File) – The HDF5 database.

Returns

None

Return type

NoneType

species.data.leggett module

Text

species.data.leggett.add_leggett(input_path, database)[source]

Function for adding the Database of Ultracool Parallaxes to the database.

Parameters

  • input_path (str) – Path of the data folder.

  • database (h5py._hl.files.File) – Database.

Returns

None

Return type

NoneType

species.data.model_spectra module

Module for adding a grid of model spectra to the database.

species.data.model_spectra.add_model_grid(model_name: str, input_path: str, database: h5py._hl.files.File, wavel_range: Optional[Tuple[float, float]], teff_range: Optional[Tuple[float, float]], spec_res: Optional[float]) → None[source]

Function for adding a grid of model spectra to the database. The original spectra had been resampled to logarithmically- spaced wavelengths, so at a constant resolution, \(\lambda/\Delta\lambda\). This function downloads the model grid, unpacks the tar file, and adds the spectra and parameters to the database.

Parameters

  • model_name (str) – Name of the model grid.

  • input_path (str) – Folder where the data is located.

  • database (h5py._hl.files.File) – Database.

  • wavel_range (tuple(float, float), None) – Wavelength range (um). The original wavelength points are used if set to None.

  • teff_range (tuple(float, float), None) – Effective temperature range (K). All temperatures are selected if set to None.

  • spec_res (float, None) – Spectral resolution for resampling. Not used if wavel_range is set to None and/or spec_res is set to None

Returns

None

Return type

NoneType

species.data.spex module

species.data.spex.add_spex(input_path: str, database: h5py._hl.files.File) → None[source]

Function for adding the SpeX Prism Spectral Library to the database.

Parameters

  • input_path (str) – Path of the data folder.

  • database (h5py._hl.files.File) – The HDF5 database.

Returns

None

Return type

Parameters

  • input_path (str) – Path of the data folder.

  • database (h5py._hl.files.File) – Database.

Returns
