Comparing photometric data and model predictions¶
In this tutorial, we will compare the photometric fluxes of the brown dwarf companion PZ Tel B with a synthetic spectrum from the ATMO grid.
Initiating species¶
We start by importing species.
[1]:
import species
And initiating the workflow with the SpeciesInit class. This will create the configuration file and the HDF5 database.
[2]:
species.SpeciesInit()

Creating species_config.ini... [DONE]
Database: /Users/tomasstolker/applications/species/docs/tutorials/species_database.hdf5

Adding model spectra¶
We create now a Database object which is used for importing various data into the database.
[3]:
database = species.Database()
The spectra of ATMO are downloaded and added to the database with the add_model method of Database. This requires sufficient disk storage in the data_folder that is set in the configuration file. The full ATMO grid is downloaded but the teff_range parameter can be used to only import a certain Teff range into the database.
[4]:
database.add_model('atmo', teff_range=(2500., 3000.))
Downloading ATMO model spectra (430 MB)... [DONE]
Unpacking ATMO model spectra (430 MB)... [DONE]

Grid points stored in the database:
- Teff = [2500. 2600. 2700. 2800. 2900. 3000.]
- log(g) = [2.5 3. 3.5 4. 4.5 5. 5.5]
Number of grid points per parameter:
- teff: 6
- logg: 7
Fix missing grid points with a linear interpolation:
Number of stored grid points: 42
Number of interpolated grid points: 0
Number of missing grid points: 0
Adding companion data¶
Next, we add the distance and magnitudes of PZ Tel B to the database with the `add_companion`` method. This will automatically download the required filter profiles and a flux-calibrated spectrum of Vega. These are used to convert the magnitudes into fluxes.

database.add_companion('PZ Tel B')

We see the various groups, subgroups, datasets, and attributes that are stored in the HDF5 database.
Reading model spectra¶
Model spectra are read from the database by first creating an instance of ReadModel. The model name and optionally a wavelength range are provided as arguments.
[7]:
readmodel = species.ReadModel('atmo', wavel_range=(0.5, 10.))
Before extracting a spectrum, let’s check which parameters are required for the ATMO model spectra.
[8]:
readmodel.get_parameters()
[8]:
['teff', 'logg']
And also the parameter boundaries of the grid that is stored in the database.
[9]:
readmodel.get_bounds()
[9]:
{'teff': (2500.0, 3000.0), 'logg': (2.5, 5.5)}
The parameters are provided in a dictionary for which we have to make sure that chose values are within the grid boundaries. The radius (RJup) and distance (pc) will scale the emitted spectrum to the observer. Without these values, the spectrum fluxes are provided at the surface of the atmosphere.
[10]:
model_param = {'teff': 2900., 'logg': 4.5, 'radius': 2.2, 'distance': 47.13}
We now use the get_model method of ReadModel to linearly interpolate the grid of spectra and store the extracted spectrum in a ModelBox. The spectrum is smoothed to a spectral resolution of R = 100.
[11]:
modelbox = readmodel.get_model(model_param, spec_res=100., smooth=True)
Reading companion data¶
The photometric data of PZ Tel B are also read from the database and stored in an ObjectBox.
[12]:
objectbox = database.get_object(object_name='PZ Tel B')
Getting object: PZ Tel B... [DONE]
Synthetic photometry for all filters¶
For comparison, we create synthetic photometry from the extracted ATMO spectrum for all filters of PZ Tel B. The synthetic fluxes are stored in a SynphotBox.
[13]:
synphotbox = species.multi_photometry(datatype='model',
spectrum='atmo',
filters=objectbox.filters,
parameters=model_param)
Calculating synthetic photometry... [DONE]
Creating flux residuals¶
The get_residuals function is now used to calculate the difference between the observed fluxes and the synthetic fluxes from the model spectrum. The residuals are stored in a ResidualsBox.
[14]:
res_box = species.get_residuals(datatype='model',
spectrum='atmo',
parameters=model_param,
objectbox=objectbox,
inc_phot=True,
inc_spec=False)
Calculating synthetic photometry... [DONE]

Opening Box objects¶
The open_box function can be used to view the content of a Box object. For example, the ModelBox contains several attributes, including the wavelengths and fluxes.

The attributes in a Box object can be extracted for further analyis or creating plots. For example, to extract the array with wavelengths from the ModelBox:
[17]:
modelbox.wavelength
[17]:
array([ 0.49998877, 0.50003831, 0.50008785, ..., 9.99834109,
9.99933175, 10.0003225 ])
Plotting model spectrum and photometry¶
Finally, we will combine the model spectrum and the photometric fluxes in a plot with plot_spectrum. A list with Box objects is provided as an argument of boxes. These are interpreted accordingly by the plot_spectrum function. Also a list with filter names can be provided as argument of filters to show the filter profiles. The ResidualsBox is provided as arguments of residuals. Finally, the optional argument of plot_kwargs contains a list with optional
dictionaries to tune the visualization of the plotted data. The number of items in the list of plot_kwargs should be equal to the number of items in the list of boxes. For the SynphotBox, we can set the item in plot_kwargs to None such that the marker design is based on the data from ObjectBox.
