Functions

PPCalculateSimpleCometaryMagnitude(→ pandas.DataFrame)

Adjusts the observations' trailed source apparent magnitude for cometary activity

Module Contents

PPCalculateSimpleCometaryMagnitude(padain: pandas.DataFrame, observing_filters: List[str], rho: List[float], delta: List[float], alpha: List[float], activity_choice: str = None) → pandas.DataFrame[source]

Adjusts the observations' trailed source apparent magnitude for cometary activity using the model specified by activity_choice added by the user

Parameters:

  • padain (pd.DataFrame) -- The input observations dataframe

  • observing_filters (List[str]) -- The photometric filters the observation is taken in (the filter requested that the coma magnitude be calculated for)

  • rho (List[float]) -- Heliocentric distance [units au]

  • delta (List[float]) -- Distance to Earth [units au]

  • alpha (List[float]) -- Phase angle [units degrees]

  • activity_choice (string, optional) -- The activity model to use, by default None

Returns:

The observations dataframe with updated trailed source apparent magnitude values.

Return type:

pd.DataFrame
