class GalaxySurveyVVDS.GalaxySurveyVVDS[source]¶

The class GalaxySurveyVVDS is dedicated to handling VVDS survey.

class GalaxySurveyVVDS.GalaxySurveyVVDS(redshift_catalog='VVDS_WIDE_summary.fits')[source]

Loads the environement proper to the VVDS survey :

• Defines all the proper paths in the database,
• Opens the catalog,

Parameters:	redshift_catalog – name of the VVDS redshift catalog (path to the fits file)

computeLineLuminosity(line, distanceCorrection)[source]¶

computes the line luminosities for the line list given. :param catalog: fits catalog containing redshift, EBV and line fluxes :param line:
