Convert to MagnitudesΒΆ

It is possible for any photometric scalar fluxcompensator.flux.SyntheticFlux FC_object created with

to convert to magnitudes with fluxcompensator.flux.SyntheticFlux.magnitudes(), if the zero-point flux zero_point in Jy is available.

To do so (e.g. for IRAC4), add to your script:

# convert to magnitudes
FC_object_mag = FC_object.magnitudes(zero_point=64.9)

Note

The zero_point for common detectors can be accessed from the Database.
