ThermalObservationMode

class stsynphot.observationmode.ThermalObservationMode(obsmode, graphtable=None, comptable=None, thermtable=None)

Bases: BaseObservationMode

Class to handle an observation that uses the graph, optical component, and thermal component tables.

See BaseObservationMode for additional attributes.

Parameters:

obsmode, graphtable, comptable

See BaseObservationMode.

thermtablestr or None

Thermal component table filename. If None, uses stsynphot.config.conf.thermtable.

Attributes:

thnamestr

Thermal component table filename.

Raises:

NotImplementedError

Clear filters only not supported.

Methods Summary

to_spectrum()

Get thermal spectrum.

Methods Documentation

to_spectrum()

Get thermal spectrum.

The calculations start with zero-flux spectrum. Then for each component:

1. Multiply with optical throughput.

2. Add in thermal source spectrum from synphot.thermal.ThermalSpectralElement.thermal_source().

Returns:

spsynphot.spectrum.SourceSpectrum

Thermal spectrum in PHOTLAM.
