mean_pixels_in_beam

sofia_redux.calibration.standard_model.derived_optics.mean_pixels_in_beam(num_pix, total_throughput, wavelengths)

Calculate the mean number of pixels in the beam.

Mean is weighted by the total_throughput at each wavelength.

Parameters:

num_pixndarray

Number of pixels in extraction area at each wavelength.

total_throughputndarray

Total throughput of the telescope at each wavelength.

wavelengthsndarray

Wavelenths to integrate over in microns.

Returns:

npix_meanfloat

Throughput-weighted mean number of pixels in the beam.
