class gunagala.sky.Simple(surface_brightness, **kwargs)

Bases: gunagala.sky.Sky

Simple sky background model using fixed, uniform, pre-determined surface brightness values for specific filter bands.

Parameters:

surface_brightness : dict

Dictionary containing filter_name, surface brightness key, value pairs. The surface brightnesses should be astropy.units.Quantity objects in ABmag units (the ‘per arcsecond’ is assumed).

Methods Summary

surface_brightness(filter_name)

Returns the pre-determined sky surface brightness value for a given named filter.

Parameters:

filter_name : str

Name of the optical filter to use.

Returns:

surface_brightness : astropy.units.Quantity

Sky surface brightness in ABmag units (the ‘per square arcsecond’ is implied).
