MUSE specific tools (mpdaf.MUSE)

Python interface for MUSE slicer numbering scheme

The Slicer class contains a set of static methods to convert a slice number between the various numbering schemes. The definition of the various numbering schemes and the conversion table can be found in the “Global Positioning System” document (VLT-TRE-MUSE-14670-0657).

All the methods are static and thus there is no need to instanciate an object to use this class.

For example, we convert slice number 4 in CCD numbering to SKY numbering:

In [1]: from mpdaf.MUSE import Slicer

In [2]: Slicer.ccd2sky(4)
Out[2]: 10

Now we convert slice number 12 of stack 3 in OPTICAL numbering to CCD numbering:

In [3]: Slicer.optical2sky((2, 12))
Out[3]: 25

MUSE LSF models

Warning

LSF class is currently under development

Only one model of LSF (Line Spread Function) is currently available.

LSF qsim_v1

This is a simple model where the LSF is supposed to be constant over the filed of view. It uses a simple parametric model of variation with wavelength.

The model is a convolution of a step function with a gaussian. The resulting function is then sample by the pixel size:

LSF = T(y2+dy/2) - T(y2-dy/2) - T(y1+dy/2) + T(y1-dy/2)

T(x) = exp(-x**2/2) + sqrt(2*pi)*x*erf(x/sqrt(2))/2

y1 = (y-h/2) / sigma

y2 = (y+h/2) / sigma

The slit width is assumed to be constant (h = 2.09 pixels). The gaussian sigma parameter is a polynomial approximation of order 3 with wavelength:

c = [-0.09876662, 0.44410609, -0.03166038, 0.46285363]

sigma(x) = c[3] + c[2]*x + c[1]*x**2 + c[0]*x**3

To use it, create a LSF object with attribute ‘typ’ equal to ‘qsim_v1’:

In [4]: from mpdaf.MUSE import LSF

In [5]: lsf = LSF(typ='qsim_v1')

Then get the LSF array by using get_LSF:

In [6]: lsf_6000 = lsf.get_LSF(lbda=6000, step=1.25, size=11)

In [7]: import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

In [8]: import numpy as np

In [9]: plt.plot(np.arange(-5,6), lsf_6000, drawstyle='steps-mid')
Out[9]: [<matplotlib.lines.Line2D at 0x7f8f86e79cd0>]

MUSE FSF models

Warning

FSF class is currently under development

Only one model of FSF (Field Spread Function) is currently available.

FSF MOFFAT1

The MUSE FSF is supposed to be a Moffat function with a FWHM which varies linearly with the wavelength.

The model is defined with 3 parameters:
  • beta (float) Power index of the Moffat.
  • a (float) constant in arcsec which defined the FWHM (fwhm=a+b*lbda)
  • b (float) constant which defined the FWHM (fwhm=a+b*lbda)

We create the FSF object like this:

In [10]: from mpdaf.MUSE import FSF

In [11]: fsf = FSF(typ='MOFFAT1')

get_FSF returns for each wavelength an array and the FWHM in pixel and in arcseconds.

In [12]: fsf_array, fwhm_pix, fwhm_arcsec = fsf.get_FSF(lbda=[5000, 9000], step=0.2, size=21, beta=2.8, a=0.885, b=-2.94E-05)

In [13]: print(fwhm_pix)
[ 3.69   3.102]

In [14]: print(fwhm_arcsec)
[ 0.738   0.6204]

In [15]: plt.figure()
Out[15]: <matplotlib.figure.Figure at 0x7f8f86f30350>

In [16]: plt.imshow(fsf_array[1], vmin=0, vmax=60, interpolation='nearest')
Out[16]: <matplotlib.image.AxesImage at 0x7f8f9c8a0ed0>

In [17]: plt.figure()
Out[17]: <matplotlib.figure.Figure at 0x7f8f870a3c50>

In [18]: plt.imshow(fsf_array[0], vmin=0, vmax=60, interpolation='nearest')
Out[18]: <matplotlib.image.AxesImage at 0x7f8f9c239150>

It is also possible to use get_FSF_cube that returns a cube of FSFs with the same coordinates that the MUSE data cube given as input.

MUSE mosaic field map

Warning

FieldsMap class is currently under development

FieldsMap reads the possible FIELDMAP extension of the MUSE data cube.

In [19]: from mpdaf.MUSE import FieldsMap

In [20]: fmap = FieldsMap('sdetect/subcub_mosaic.fits', extname='FIELDMAP')

get_pixel_fields returns a list of fields that cover a given pixel (y, x):

In [21]: fmap.get_pixel_fields(0,0)
Out[21]: ['UDF-06', 'UDF-09']

In [22]: fmap.get_pixel_fields(20,20)
Out[22]: ['UDF-06']

get_field_mask returns an array with non-zeros values for pixels matching a field:

In [23]: plt.figure()
Out[23]: <matplotlib.figure.Figure at 0x7f8fa031e5d0>

In [24]: plt.imshow(fmap.get_field_mask('UDF-06'), vmin=0, vmax=1)
Out[24]: <matplotlib.image.AxesImage at 0x7f8f967bd310>

In [25]: plt.figure()
Out[25]: <matplotlib.figure.Figure at 0x7f8f86d60910>

In [26]: plt.imshow(fmap.get_field_mask('UDF-09'), vmin=0, vmax=1)
Out[26]: <matplotlib.image.AxesImage at 0x7f8f9c9a66d0>
