gemini_instruments.flamingos package

class gemini_instruments.flamingos.AstroDataFlamingos(provider)[source]

Bases: 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
