convert_flux¶

sofia_redux.visualization.utils.unit_conversion.convert_flux(in_flux, start_unit, end_unit, wavelength, wave_unit)[source]¶

Convert flux data to new units.

The wavelength array is required to convert from some flux units to others, via the astropy.units.spectral_density equivalency.

Parameters:

in_fluxarray-like: Input flux data to convert.
start_unitastropy.units.Unit or str: Starting unit for flux data, to convert from.
end_unitastropy.units.Unit or str: Desired unit for flux data, to convert to.
wavelengtharray-like: Wavelength data associated with the flux.
wave_unitastropy.units.Unit or str: Current wavelength unit.

Returns:

out_fluxarray-like: Converted flux array. The wavelength array is unchanged.

Raises:
