Proper Astronomic Image Analysis

Project description

Proper image treatments

Build Status codecov Documentation Status License Python 3.5+

This code is inspired on Zackay & Ofek 2017 papers How to coadd images? (see References below).

  • It can perform a PSF estimation using Karhunen-Löeve expansion, which is based on Lauer 2002 work.

  • It can perform the statistical proper coadd of several images.

  • It can also perform a proper-subtraction of images.

  • Images need to be aligned and registered, or at least astroalign must be installed.

  • Contains a nice plot module for PSF visualization (needs matplotlib)

Installation

To install from PyPI

$ pip install properimage

Quick usage

PSF estimation

>>> from properimage import singleimage as si
>>> with si.SingleImage(frame, smooth_psf=False) as sim:
...     a_fields, psf_basis = sim.get_variable_psf(inf_loss=0.15)

Proper-subtraction of images

To create a proper-subtraction of images:

>>> from properimage import propersubtract as ps
>>> D, P, Scorr, mask = ps.diff(ref=ref_path, new=new_path, smooth_psf=False, fitted_psf=True,
...                             align=False, iterative=False, beta=False, shift=False)

Where D, P, Scorr refer to the images defined by the same name in Zackay & Ofek paper.
