cwi_obj_lum¶

cwitools.scripts.obj_lum.obj_lum(cube, obj, obj_id, redshift, cosmology='WMAP9', var=None, log=None, silent=None)¶

Measure the integrated luminosity of an object.

Parameters:	fits_in (str) – The input data FITS (can be 1D, 2D or 3D) If input is 2D, it is assumed to have units erg/s/cm2/arcsec2. If input is 1D or 3D, units are assumed to be erg/s/cm2/angstrom obj (numpy.ndarray) – The object masj cube obj_id (int or list) – The ID (or IDs) of the object(s) to include. redshift (float) – The redshift of the source. cosmology (str) – One of the built-in astropy cosmologies, can be ‘WMAP5’, ‘WMAP7’, ‘WMAP9’, ‘Planck13’ or ‘Planck15’. var (str) – Array of same dimensions as data and mask, containing variance estimates. Used to propagate error on luminosity. log (str) – Path to log file to save output to. silent (bool) – Set to TRUE to suppress standard output.
Returns:	The integrated luminosity of the source in erg/s. float: The error on the luminosity calculation.
Return type:	float
