class GalaxySpectrumVIPERS.GalaxySpectrumVIPERS[source]¶

The class GalaxySpectrumVIPERS is dedicated to handling VIPERS spectra

class GalaxySpectrumVIPERS.GalaxySpectrumVIPERS(catalog_entry, calibration=True, lineFits=False)[source]

Loads the environement proper to the vipers survey.

Two modes of operation : flux calibration or line fitting

Parameters:	catalog_entry – an entry of the vipers catalog calibration – if the class is loaded with intention of flux calibrating the vipers data. lineFits – if the class is loaded with intention of fitting line fluxes on the vipers spectra.

reads a VIPERS pectrum returns the wavelength, the flux and the error on the flux and two arrays for masking purpose
