Setting UpΒΆ

The FluxCompensator is written in a way, which makes it easy to write pipelines and automate them later. Therefore, it is better to write the code in scripts (e.g. example.py) and run it by:

Python example.py

In the Hyperion image set-up you can set up images and/ or SEDs as image groups. When post-processing them, depending on the image group, one has to choose between two initial setup of FluxCompensator.

When you want to make a realistic observation out of an image output from Hyperion use SyntheticCube. If you have the SED Hyperion output, than use SyntheticSED for setting up.

Note

In the process of producing a “realistic” observation, the 3D (x, y, wav) image group or the 1D (wav) sed group will change its dimensions. For instance convolving with a filter transforms 3D -> 2D and 1D -> scalar (photometric flux). Then automatically the class properties are changed to SyntheticImage or SyntheticFlux, respectively.
