Spectrum Extraction
===================
The `specreduce.extract` module extracts a 1D spectrum from an input 2D spectrum
(likely a background-extracted spectrum from the previous step) and a defined
window, using one of the following implemented methods:
* `~specreduce.extract.BoxcarExtract`
* `~specreduce.extract.HorneExtract`
Each of these takes the input image and trace as inputs (see the :ref:`api_index` for
other required and optional parameters)
.. code-block:: python
extract = specreduce.extract.BoxcarExtract(image-bg, trace, width=3)
or
.. code-block:: python
extract = specreduce.extract.HorneExtract(image-bg, trace)
For the Horne algorithm, the variance array is required. If the input image is
an `~astropy.nddata.NDData` object with ``image.uncertainty`` provided,
then this will be used. Otherwise, the ``variance`` parameter must be set.
.. code-block:: python
extract = specreduce.extract.HorneExtract(image-bg, trace, variance=var_array)
An optional mask array for the image may be supplied to HorneExtract as well.
This follows the same convention and can either be attached to ``image`` if it
is an `~astropy.nddata.NDData` object, or supplied as a keyword argument.
The extraction methods automatically detect non-finite pixels in the input
image and combine them with the user-supplied mask to prevent them from biasing the
extraction. In the boxcar extraction, the treatment of these pixels is controlled by
the ``mask_treatment`` option. When set to ``exclude`` (the default), non-finite
pixels within the extraction window are excluded from the extraction, and the extracted
flux is scaled according to the effective number of unmasked pixels. When using other
options (``filter`` or ``omit``), the non-finite values may be propagated or treated
differently as documented in the API.
Uncertainty propagation
-----------------------
Both `~specreduce.extract.BoxcarExtract` and `~specreduce.extract.HorneExtract`
propagate uncertainties from the input image to the extracted 1D spectrum.
For the input image, uncertainties can be provided in two ways:
1. As part of an `~astropy.nddata.NDData` object via ``image.uncertainty``
2. Via the ``variance`` parameter (for HorneExtract)
The extracted spectrum includes the propagated uncertainty, which can be accessed via
the ``uncertainty`` attribute:
.. code-block:: python
extract = BoxcarExtract(image, trace, width=5)
spectrum = extract.spectrum
print(spectrum.uncertainty)
For `~specreduce.extract.BoxcarExtract`, the uncertainty is propagated through the
weighted sum over the extraction aperture. For `~specreduce.extract.HorneExtract`,
the optimal extraction algorithm naturally produces properly weighted uncertainties.
Calling the extraction methods
------------------------------
The previous examples in this section show how to initialize the BoxcarExtract
or HorneExtract objects with their required parameters. To extract the 1D
spectrum
.. code-block:: python
spectrum = extract.spectrum
The ``extract`` object contains all the set options. The extracted 1D spectrum
can be accessed via the ``spectrum`` property or by calling (e.g ``extract()``)
the ``extract`` object (which also allows temporarily overriding any values)
.. code-block:: python
spectrum2 = extract(width=6)
or, for example to override the original ``trace_object``
.. code-block:: python
spectrum2 = extract(trace_object=new_trace)
Spatial profile options
-----------------------
The Horne algorithm provides two options for fitting the spatial profile to the
cross dispersion direction of the source: a Gaussian fit (default),
or an empirical ``interpolated_profile`` option.
If the default Gaussian option is used, an optional background model may be
supplied as well (default is a 2D Polynomial) to account
for residual background in the spatial profile. This option is not supported for
``interpolated_profile``.
If the ``interpolated_profile`` option is used, the image will be sampled in various
wavelength bins (set by ``n_bins_interpolated_profile``), averaged in those bins, and
samples are then interpolated between (linear by default, interpolation degree can
be set with ``interp_degree_interpolated_profile``, which defaults to linear in
x and y) to generate an empirical interpolated spatial profile. Since this option
has two optional parameters to control the fit, the input can either be a string
to indicate that ``interpolated_profile`` should be used for the spatial profile
and to use the defaults for bins and interpolation degree, or to override these
defaults a dictionary can be passed in.
For example, to use the ``interpolated_profile`` option with default bins and
interpolation degree
.. code-block:: python
interp_profile_extraction = extract(spatial_profile='interpolated_profile')
Or, to override the default of 10 samples and use 20 samples
.. code-block:: python
interp_profile_extraction = extract(
spatial_profile={
'name': 'interpolated_profile',
'n_bins_interpolated_profile': 20
}
)
Or, to do a cubic interpolation instead of the default linear
.. code-block:: python
interp_profile_extraction = extract(
spatial_profile={
"name": "interpolated_profile",
"interp_degree_interpolated_profile": 3,
}
)
As usual, parameters can either be set when instantiating the HorneExtraxt object,
or supplied/overridden when calling the extraction method on that object.
