limiting_flux

sofia_redux.calibration.standard_model.derived_optics.limiting_flux(result, integrals, snr_ref, tref=900.0)

Calculate the minimum observable flux.

Parameters:

resultdict

Collection of calibration results.

integralsdict

Collection of various background integrals.

snr_reffloat

Signal-to-noise.

treffloat, optional

Reference transmission. Defaults to 900.

Returns:

resultdict

Same as input result, but with NEFD (noise-equivalent flux density) and MDCF (limiting flux) populated.
