Wavelength Calibration API

class aspired.spectral_reduction.WavelengthCalibration(verbose: bool = True, logger_name: str = 'WavelengthCalibration', log_level: str = 'INFO', log_file_folder: str = 'default', log_file_name: str = None)

This is a wrapper for using RASCAL to perform wavelength calibration, which can handle arc lamps containing Xe, Cu, Ar, Hg, He, Th, Fe. This guarantees to provide something sensible or nothing at all. It will require some fine-tuning when using the first time. The more GOOD initial guesses provided, the faster the solution converges and with better fit. Knowing the dispersion, wavelength ranges and one or two known lines will significantly improve the fit. Conversely, wrong values supplied by the user will siginificantly distort the solution as any user supplied information will be treated as the ground truth.

Deatils of how RASCAL works should be referred to

https://rascal.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Parameters:

• verbose (bool (Default: True)) – Set to False to suppress all verbose warnings, except for critical failure.

• logger_name (str (Default: OneDSpec)) – 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.

• log_file_name (None or str (Default: None)) – File name of the log, set to None to self.logger.warning to screen only.

add_arc_lines(peaks: list | numpy.ndarray)

Provide the pixel locations of the arc lines.

Parameters:

peaks (list) – The pixel locations of the arc lines. Multiple traces of the arc can be provided as list of list or list of arrays.

add_arc_spec(arc_spec: list | numpy.ndarray)

Provide the 1D spectrum of the arc image.

Parameters:

arc_spec (list) – The photoelectron count of the 1D arc spectrum.

add_atlas(elements: list | numpy.ndarray, min_atlas_wavelength: float = 1000.0, max_atlas_wavelength: float = 30000.0, min_intensity: float = 10.0, min_distance: float = 10.0, candidate_tolerance: float = 10.0, constrain_poly: bool = False, vacuum: bool = False, pressure: float = 101325.0, temperature: float = 273.15, relative_humidity: float = 0.0)

Adds an atlas of arc lines to the calibrator, given an element.

Arc lines are taken from a general list of NIST lines and can be filtered using the minimum relative intensity (note this may not be accurate due to instrumental effects such as detector response, dichroics, etc) and minimum line separation.

Lines are filtered first by relative intensity, then by separation. This is to improve robustness in the case where there is a strong line very close to a weak line (which is within the separation limit).

The vacuum to air wavelength conversion is deafult to False because observatories usually provide the line lists in the respective air wavelength, as the corrections from temperature and humidity are small. See https://emtoolbox.nist.gov/Wavelength/Documentation.asp

Parameters:

• elements (string or list of strings) – Chemical symbol, case insensitive

• min_atlas_wavelength (float (Default: None)) – Minimum wavelength of the arc lines.

• max_atlas_wavelength (float (Default: None)) – Maximum wavelength of the arc lines.

• min_intensity (float (Default: None)) – Minimum intensity of the arc lines. Refer to NIST for the intensity.

• min_distance (float (Default: None)) – Minimum separation between neighbouring arc lines.

• candidate_tolerance (float (Default: 10)) – Tolerance (Angstroms) for considering a point to be an inlier during candidate peak/line selection. This should be reasonable small as we want to search for candidate points which are locally linear.

• constrain_poly (bool (Default: Flase)) – Apply a polygonal constraint on possible peak/atlas pairs

• vacuum (bool (Default: False)) – Set to True if the light path from the arc lamb to the detector plane is entirely in vacuum.

• pressure (float (Default: 101325.)) – Pressure when the observation took place, in Pascal. If it is not known, assume 10% decrement per 1000 meter altitude

do_hough_transform(brute_force: bool = False)

** brute_force is EXPERIMENTAL as of 1 Sept 2021 ** The brute force method is supposed to provide all the possible solution, hence given a sufficiently large max_tries, the solution should always be the best possible outcome. However, it does not seem to work in a small fraction of our tests. Use with caution, and it is not the recommended way for now.

Perform Hough transform on the pixel-wavelength pairs with the configuration set by the set_hough_properties().

Parameters:

brute_force (bool (Default: False)) – Set to true to compute the gradient and intercept between every two data points

This function identifies the arc lines (peaks) with scipy.signal.find_peaks(), where only the distance and the prominence keywords are used. Distance is the minimum separation between peaks, the default value is roughly twice the nyquist sampling rate (i.e. pixel size is 2.3 times smaller than the object that is being resolved, hence, the sepration between two clearly resolved peaks are ~5 pixels apart). A crude estimate of the background can exclude random noise which look like small peaks.

Parameters:

• arc_spec (list, array or None (Default: None)) – If not provided, it will look for the arc_spec in the spectrum_oned. Otherwise, the input arc_spec will be used.

• prominence (float (Default: 5.)) – The minimum prominence to be considered as a peak (% of max).

• top_n_peaks (int (Default: None)) – The N most prominent peaks. None means keeping all peaks.

from_spectrum_oned(spectrum_oned: SpectrumOneD, merge: bool = False, overwrite: bool = False)

This function copies all the info from the spectrum_oned, because users may supply different level/combination of reduction, everything is copied from the spectrum_oned even though in most cases only a None will be passed.

By default, this is passing object by reference by default, so it directly modifies the spectrum_oned supplied. By setting merger to True, it copies the data into the SpectrumOneD in the FluxCalibration object.

Parameters:

• spectrum_oned (SpectrumOneD object) – The SpectrumOneD to be referenced or copied.

• merge (bool (Default: False)) – Set to True to copy everything over to the local SpectrumOneD, hence FluxCalibration will not be acting on the SpectrumOneD outside.

• overwrite (bool (Default: False)) – Set to True to make a complete copy of the spectrum_oned to the target spectrum_oned, that includes all the Nones and other settings. Use with caution, as it removes the properties set before this function call.

manual_refit(matched_peaks: list | numpy.ndarray = None, matched_atlas: list | numpy.ndarray = None, degree: int = None, x0: list | numpy.ndarray = None, return_solution: bool = True)

Perform a refinement of the matched peaks and atlas lines.

This function takes lists of matched peaks and atlases, along with user-specified lists of lines to add/remove from the lists.

Any given peaks or atlas lines to remove are selected within a user-specified tolerance, by default 1 pixel and 5 atlas Angstrom.

The final set of matching peaks/lines is then matched using a robust polyfit of the desired degree. Optionally, an initial fit x0 can be provided to condition the optimiser.

The parameters are identical in the format in the fit() and match_peaks() functions, however, with manual changes to the lists of peaks and atlas, peak_utilisation and atlas_utilisation are meaningless so this function does not return in the same format.

Parameters:
