SkyRectangularAnnulus¶

class photutils.aperture.SkyRectangularAnnulus(positions, w_in, w_out, h_out, h_in=None, theta=<Quantity 0. deg>)[source]¶

Bases: SkyAperture

A rectangular annulus aperture defined in sky coordinates.

The aperture has a single fixed size/shape, but it can have multiple positions (see the positions input).

Parameters:

positionsSkyCoord

The celestial coordinates of the aperture center(s). This can be either scalar coordinates or an array of coordinates.

w_inscalar Quantity

The inner full width of the rectangular annulus in angular units. For theta=0 the width side is along the North-South axis.

w_outscalar Quantity

The outer full width of the rectangular annulus in angular units. For theta=0 the width side is along the North-South axis.

h_outscalar Quantity

The outer full height of the rectangular annulus in angular units.

h_inNone or scalar Quantity

The outer full height of the rectangular annulus in angular units. If None, then the inner full height is calculated as:

\[h_{in} = h_{out} \left(\frac{w_{in}}{w_{out}}\right)\]

For theta=0 the height side is along the East-West axis.

thetascalar Quantity, optional

The position angle (in angular units) of the rectangle “width” side. For a right-handed world coordinate system, the position angle increases counterclockwise from North (PA=0).

Examples

>>> from astropy.coordinates import SkyCoord
>>> import astropy.units as u
>>> from photutils.aperture import SkyRectangularAnnulus
>>> positions = SkyCoord(ra=[10.0, 20.0], dec=[30.0, 40.0], unit='deg')
>>> aper = SkyRectangularAnnulus(positions, 3.0*u.arcsec, 8.0*u.arcsec,
...                              5.0*u.arcsec)

Attributes Summary

`h_in`	The inner full height in angular units.
`h_out`	The outer full height in angular units.
`isscalar`	Whether the instance is scalar (i.e., a single position).
`positions`	The center position(s) in sky coordinates.
`shape`	The shape of the instance.
`theta`	The position angle (in angular units) of the rectangle "width" side.
`w_in`	The inner full width in angular units.
`w_out`	The outer full width in angular units.

Methods Summary

`copy`()	Make an independent (deep) copy.
`to_pixel`(wcs)	Convert the aperture to a `RectangularAnnulus` object defined in pixel coordinates.
