EmLine Class

Notebooks

Overview

This Class is a child of the abstract SpectralLine Class Class. See that documentation for the base methods.

EmLine is designed to organize and analyze an emission line. In addition to the attributes defaulted to SpectralLine, this class has:

Property Variable Type Description
Flux attrib[‘flux’] Quantity Line flux (erg/s)
Flux sigma attrib[‘sig_flux’] Quantity 1 sigma uncertainty in flux
Flux flag attrib[‘flag_flux’] int Flux flag

Instantiation

The typical way to instantiate is a standard call with the rest wavelength or name of the transition:

emisslin = EmLine('Halpha')
emisslin = EmLine(6564.613*u.AA)

By default the class searches the Galaxy LineList.

from_dict

Instantiate from a dict. The keys ltype (‘Em’) and trans are required.
