cwitools.scripts.get_rprof.get_rprof(sb_map, pos, pos_type='image', r_min=None, r_max=None, n_bins=10, scale='lin', r_unit='px', redshift=None, var=None, mask=None, out=None, log=None, silent=None)

Generate a surface brightness map of a 3D object.

Parameters:

• fits_in (str) – Path to FITS file containing SB map.
• pos (float tuple) – The center of the profile in units determined by the ‘pos_type’ argument. Default is image coordinates, (x, y).
• pos_type (str) – The type of coordinate given for the ‘pos’ argument. ‘radec’ - (RA, DEC) tuple in decimal degrees ‘image’ - (x, y) tuple in image coordinates (default)
• r_min (float) – The minimum radius, in units determined by runit.
• r_max (float) – The maximum radius, in units determined by runit.
• nbins (int) – The number of radial bins between r_min and r_max to use.
• scale (str) – The scale for the radial bins. ‘lin’ makes bins equal size in linear space. ‘log’ makes bins equal size in log space.
• runit (str) – The unit of r_min and r_max. Can be ‘pkpc’ or ‘px’ ‘pkpc’ Proper kiloparsec, redshift must also be provided. ‘px’ pixels (i.e. distance in image coordinates)
• redshift (float) – The redshift of the emission, needed to calculate physical distances.
• var (str) – Path to FITS file containing SB map variance.
• mask (str) – Path to FITS file containing 2D binary mask of regions to exclude.
• out (str) – The output file name for the radial profile. Default is to add “.rprof.fits”
• log (str) – Path to log file to save output to.
• silent (bool) – Set to TRUE to suppress standard output.

Returns:

None
