gemini_instruments.flamingos package¶

class gemini_instruments.flamingos.AstroDataFlamingos(nddata=None, tables=None, phu=None, indices=None)[source]¶

Bases: gemini_instruments.gemini.adclass.AstroDataGemini

central_wavelength(asMicrometers=False, asNanometers=False, asAngstroms=False)[source]¶

Returns the central wavelength in meters or the specified units

Parameters

asMicrometers (bool) – If True, return the wavelength in microns
asNanometers (bool) – If True, return the wavelength in nanometers
asAngstroms (bool) – If True, return the wavelength in Angstroms

Returns

The central wavelength setting

Return type

float

dec()[source]¶

Returns the Declination of the center of field in degrees. Since a fiber is used it coincides with the position of the target. For code re-used, use target_dec() if you really want the position of the target rather than the center of the field.

Returns: declination in degrees
Return type: float

detector()[source]¶

disperser(stripID=False, pretty=False)[source]¶

Returns the name of the disperser.

Parameters

stripID (<bool>) – Does nothing.
pretty (<bool>) – Also does nothing.

Returns

Name of the disperser.

Return type

<str>

exposure_time()[source]¶

Returns the exposure time in seconds.

Returns: Exposure time.
Return type: float

filter_name(stripID=False, pretty=False)[source]¶

Returns the name of the filter(s) used. The component ID can be removed with either ‘stripID’ or ‘pretty’. If a combination of filters is used, the filter names will be join into a unique string with ‘&’ as separator. If ‘pretty’ is True, filter positions such as ‘Open’, ‘Dark’, ‘blank’, and others are removed leaving only the relevant filters in the string.

Parameters

stripID (bool) – If True, removes the component ID and returns only the name of the filter.
pretty (bool) – Same as for stripID. Pretty here does not do anything more.

Returns

The name of the filter combination with or without the component ID.

Return type

str

ra()[source]¶

Returns the Right Ascension of the center of field in degrees. Since a fiber is used it coincides with the position of the target. For code re-used, use target_ra() if you really want the position of the target rather than the center of the field.

Returns: right ascension in degrees
Return type: float
