class aspired.spectral_reduction.Spectrum1D(spec_id=None, verbose=True, logger_name='Spectrum1D', log_level='INFO', log_file_folder='default', log_file_name=None)

Base class of a 1D spectral object to hold the information of each extracted spectrum and the raw headers if was provided during the data reduction. The FITS or CSV file output are all done here.

Initialise the object with a logger.

Parameters:

• spec_id (int (Default: None)) – The ID corresponding to the spectrum1D object. Note that this ID is unique in each reduction only.
• verbose (boolean (Default: True)) – Set to False to suppress all verbose warnings, except for critical failure.
• logger_name (str (Default: Spectrum1D)) – This will set the name of the logger, if the name is used already, it will reference to the existing logger. This will be the first part of the default log file name unless log_file_name is provided.
• log_level (str (Default: 'INFO')) – Four levels of logging are available, in decreasing order of information and increasing order of severity: (1) DEBUG, (2) INFO, (3) WARNING, (4) ERROR and (5) CRITICAL. WARNING means that there is suboptimal operations in some parts of that step. ERROR means that the requested operation cannot be performed, but the software can handle it by either using the default setting or skipping the operation. CRITICAL means that the requested operation cannot be resolved without human interaction, this is most usually coming from missing data.
• log_file_folder (None or str (Default: "default")) – Folder in which the file is save, set to default to save to the current path.

save_csv(output, filename, overwrite, recreate)

Save the reduced data to disk, with a choice of any combination of the 5 sets of data, see below the ‘output’ parameters for details.

Parameters:

• output (String) –

  Type of data to be saved, the order is fixed (in the order of the following description), but the options are flexible. The input strings are delimited by “+”,

  trace: 2 HDUs

  Trace, and trace width (pixel)

  count: 4 HDUs

  Count, uncertainty, sky, and optimal flag (pixel)

  weight_map: 1 HDU

  Weight (pixel)

  arc_spec: 3 HDUs

  1D arc spectrum, arc line pixels, and arc line effective pixels

  wavecal: 1 HDU

  Polynomial coefficients for wavelength calibration

  wavelength: 1 HDU

  Wavelength of each pixel

  count_resampled: 3 HDUs

  Resampled Count, uncertainty, and sky (wavelength)

  sensitivity: 1 HDU

  Sensitivity (pixel)

  flux: 4 HDUs

  Flux, uncertainty, and sky (pixel)

  sensitivity: 1 HDU

  Sensitivity (wavelength)

  flux_resampled: 3 HDUs

  Flux, uncertainty, and sky (wavelength)

• filename (String) – Disk location to be written to. Default is at where the process/subprocess is execuated.
• overwrite (boolean) – Default is False.
• recreate (boolean (Default: False)) – Set to True to overwrite the FITS data and header.
