aflak - Advanced Framework for Learning Astrophysical Knowledge

Project moved and currently undergoing a complete rewrite at https://github.com/aflak-vis/aflak

Environment

Support Python3.5+.

Install

You can install aflak using any of the following methods.

Using pip

This is the recommended way of installing aflak as a user. Please make sure to install aflak for python 3.x. It will not work on python 2.x.

Remove it with:

From source locally

Open a FITS file

aflak my-fits-file.fits

The provided FITS file is required to have the following extensions:

• 'FLUX': 3D data containing 2D luminosity component for each wavelength value
• 'WAVE': 1D data containing value of each target wavelength

After some fiddling you should be able to get a window like below:

Get sample FITS files

The Makefile contains a few recipes to get sample fits files. Run make as below:

make data/manga-7443-12703-LINCUBE.fits

To see a fits file header

fold -w 80 foo.fits | less

TODO

• Show arbitrary sums over spectral data (currently only show one frame)
• Benchmark / Test with several fits files
• Set a label on the histogram's Y-axis (flux [1E-17 erg/s/cm^2])
