Fits of IR SEDs including AGN contribution.

Project description

iragnsep

iragnsep performs IR (i.e. 8--1000 microns) SED fits, separated into AGN and galaxy contributions, and measure host galaxy properties (e.g. SFRs) free of AGN contamination. The advantage of iragnsep is that, in addition to fitting observed broadband photometric fluxes, it also allows to incorporate IR spectra in the fits which, if available, greatly improves the robustness of the galaxy-AGN separation.

For the galaxy component iragnsep uses a library of galaxy templates built and presented in Bernhard et al. (in prep.). In terms of the AGN contribution, if the input dataset is a mixture of spectral and photometric data, iragnsep uses a combination of power-laws for the AGN continuum and some broad features for the silicate emission. If, instead, the dataset contains photometric data alone, the AGN contribution is accounted for by using the library of AGN templates presented in Bernhard et al. (in prep.).

The advanced fitting techniques used by iragnsep (i.e. MLE optimised with MCMC) combined with the powerful model comparison tests (i.e. AIC) allow iragnsep to provide a statistically robust interpretation of IR SEDs in terms of AGN–galaxy contributions, even when the AGN contribution is highly diluted by the host galaxy emission.

The aim of this README is to show how to use iragnsep. This document also contains important information such as limitations and cautions and the modules and functions which define iragnsep.

For a detailed description on the templates and fitting technique, see Bernhard et al. (in prep.).

Getting Started

These instructions should assist you in getting iragnsep running on your machine. iragnsep is written in python 3 and is available on PyPI.

Prerequisites

iragnsep requires some non-standard libraries (dependencies) to run. These should automatically get installed when downloading and installing iragnsep via PyPi. If not, these can be manually installed using the pip3 command. The dependencies are as follow,

  • NumPy - NumPy is the fundamental package for scientific computing with Python.
  • Matplotlib - Matplotlib is a Python 2D plotting library.
  • Astropy - The Astropy Project is a community effort to develop a common core package for Astronomy in Python and foster an ecosystem of inter-operable astronomy packages.
  • SciPy - SciPy is a Python-based ecosystem of open-source software for mathematics, science, and engineering.
  • pandas - pandas is an open source, BSD-licensed library providing high-performance, easy-to-use data structures and data analysis tools for the Python programming language.
  • emcee - emcee is an MIT licensed pure-Python implementation of Goodman & Weare’s Affine Invariant Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) Ensemble sampler.
  • Numba - Numba translates Python functions to optimised machine code at runtime using the industry-standard LLVM compiler library. Numba-compiled numerical algorithms in Python can approach the speeds of C or FORTRAN.

Installation

We recommend to install iragnsep and its dependencies using pip,

pip3 install iragnsep

The project is also publicly available on bitbucket (GIT) at https://bitbucket.org/ebernhard/iragnsep/src/master/ .

Quick start

In this section we show how to infer the SFR of the galaxy mrk1066 using iragnsep.

Step 1: Get the data and the script

You can download the data at https://bitbucket.org/ebernhard/iragnsep/src/master/Mrk1066/. The file data_mrk1066.csv contains the Herschel fluxes of mrk1066, and the file data_mrk1066_spec.csv contains the Spitzer-IRS spectrum of mrk1066. The file main.py is the main script. Once downloaded, create a folder with all of these files.

Step 2: Run the script

In a terminal simply cd to the folder that contains the files and run,

python3 main.py

iragnsep is now fitting mrk1066, first using a combination of the IRS spectrum and Herschel photometry, then using photometry only as if the IRS spectrum was not available. The user can open the file main.py which is commented and can be used as a template for future use of iragnsep.

Step 3: Output

Once the fits are performed the plots and tables are generated and saved in the same folder.

  • mrk1066_fitRes_spec.csv - (Available here) contains the results of the fits for the 12 possible combinations of models considered by iragnsep. Each row corresponds to a specific model. This file contains the results of the fits performed on data which included the IRS spectrum. The best model is flagged by a value of 1.0 in the column 'bestModelFlag'. See section ** Description of the tables** for a full description.
  • mrk1066_fitResAll_spec.pdf - (Available here) shows each of the 12 possible models fit to the data which included the IRS spectrum.
  • mrk1066_fitResBM_spec.pdf - (Available here) shows the best fit to the data which included the IRS spectrum. The best fit corresponds to a statistically weighted sum of all of the 12 different models.
  • mrk1066_fitRes_photo.csv - (Available here) contains the results of the fits for the 18 possible combinations of templates. Each row corresponds to a specific model. This file contains the results of the fits performed in photometry only (i.e. the IRS spectrum was replaced by photometry). The best model is flagged by a value of 1.0 in the column 'bestModelFlag'. See the section ** Description of the tables** for a full description.
  • mrk1066_fitResAll_photo.pdf - (Available here) shows each of the 18 models fit to the photometric data.
  • mrk1066_fitResBM_photo.pdf - (Available here) shows the best fit to the photometric data. The best fit corresponds to a statistically weighted sum of all of the 18 different models..

Preparing your data

As this is the first release of iragnsep it is important to make sure that the input data are compatible with the code. Future versions will allow more flexibility in the format of the input data. The main input are the wavelengths of the SED (or combined spectrum and photometry) and the corresponding fluxes and their uncertainties. Here is a (non-exhaustive) check list of points that are required to ensure a robust behaviour of iragnsep.

  • the wavelengths are in microns, the fluxes and the uncertainties are in Jy.
  • the vector wavelength is in monotonically increasing order.
  • their is no negative or undefined (e.g. nan) values in the fluxes and their uncertainties (upper-limits can be passed via the keywords UL and ULphot).
  • if using iragnsep with a combination of a spectrum and photometry, make sure that no photometric points are overlapping with the spectral data (e.g. IRS spectra and MIPS 24 micron would be overlapping).
  • from practice, a good value for Nmc (the number of steps in the MCMC) is at least 10000 steps.
  • do not forget to set the redshift of the source using the keyword z.
  • for the photometric version, avoid photometry below roughly 5 microns rest-frame as iragnsep has not been designed to account for emissions below this value (e.g. old stellar population and very host dust component).

Should you find anything non-intuitive missing from the above list, contact us at: e.p.bernhard[at]sheffield.ac.uk

Description of the tables

The output of the fits can be saved using the keyword saveRes as shown in the main.py of the Quick Start example on mrk1066. In particular two types of tables can be generated whether using the version of the code with spectra or that of with photometry alone.

The table sourceName_fitRes_spec.csv (where sourceName is the name of the source passed by the user) is a comma separated values (CSV) table which contains the results of the fits performed on data which included spectra. Each table row corresponds to one of the 12 possible models considered by iragnsep. Columns are as follow,

Cautionary notes

As this is the first version of iragnsep we suggest the user to carefully check results, and to report anything that is possibly a bug. To do this, please contact us at: e.p.bernhard[at]sheffield.ac.uk.

The templates and models built for iragnsep are based on observations out to z=0.3. We have tested these on photometry of galaxies in the COSMOS field at higher redshifts, and the results appear to be reliable. However, there is no formal proof, and we suggest that the user carefully check results for these sources.

The templates have been derived on moderate luminosity AGNs 41.6 erg/s<Log10(Lx2-10kev)<45.2 erg/s. As a consequence, using iragnsep for, let's say, bright QSOs is at the User's own risks. We stress however that our AGN templates are in agreement with AGN templates for quasars.

Future work

Future version will allow a more flexible input for the observed data. In addition it will be possible for the user to choose a complete different set of templates, if necessary.

For this version we use Numba to speed up the code. This python dependency pre-compiles the code allowing iragnsep to run faster. Using Numba, we have sped up iragnsep by a factor of 10. Since MCMC are time expensive, we are planning to further incorporate multi-threading for a possible increase in the speed.

So far we have tested iragnsep using data from the IRS spectra and the Herschel photometry. We plan to test the possibility to incorporate other spectral data such as future JWST data.

Versioning

We use three numbers for the versions defined as x.y.z. If only y and z are changed the output of iragnsep is unchanged and minor patches are applied. If x changes it means that major changes has been applied and results are likely to differ from the x-1 version.

The first released version starts at x=5.
