noise_equivalent_power

sofia_redux.calibration.standard_model.derived_optics.noise_equivalent_power(bg_integrand1, bg_integrand2, num_pix, wavelengths, omega_pix, telescope_area)

Calculate the noise-equivalent power.

This is the power of the source required to general a signal equivalent to the noise.

Parameters:

bg_integrand1float

First background integrand.

bg_integrand2numpy.ndarray

Second background integrand.

num_pixnumpy.ndarray

Number of pixels in the beam as a function of wavelengths.

wavelengthsnumpy.ndarray

Wavelenghts to integrate over in microns.

omega_pixfloat

Pixel solid angle in steradians

telescope_areafloat

Area of the telescope in microns.

Returns:

nepfloat

Noise equivalent power in Watts.
