LinearPhaseFunc

class sbpy.photometry.LinearPhaseFunc(H=<Quantity 5. mag>, S=<Quantity 0.04 mag / deg>, **kwargs)

Bases: DiskIntegratedPhaseFunc

Linear phase function model

Examples

>>> # Define a linear phase function model with absolute magnitude
>>> # H = 5 and slope = 0.04 mag/deg = 2.29 mag/rad
>>> import astropy.units as u
>>> from sbpy.calib import solar_fluxd
>>> from sbpy.photometry import LinearPhaseFunc
>>>
>>> linear_phasefunc = LinearPhaseFunc(5 * u.mag, 0.04 * u.mag/u.deg,
...     radius = 300 * u.km, wfb = 'V')
>>> with solar_fluxd.set({'V': -26.77 * u.mag}):
...     pha = np.linspace(0, 180, 200) * u.deg
...     mag = linear_phasefunc.to_mag(pha)
...     ref = linear_phasefunc.to_ref(pha)
...     geomalb = linear_phasefunc.geomalb
...     phaseint = linear_phasefunc.phaseint
...     bondalb = linear_phasefunc.bondalb
>>> print('Geometric albedo is {0:.3}'.format(geomalb))
Geometric albedo is 0.0487
>>> print('Bond albedo is {0:.3}'.format(bondalb))
Bond albedo is 0.0179
>>> print('Phase integral is {0:.3}'.format(phaseint))
Phase integral is 0.367

Attributes Documentation

H = Parameter('H', value=5.0, unit=mag)

S = Parameter('S', value=0.04, unit=mag / deg)

input_units = {'x': Unit("deg")}

param_names = ('H', 'S')

Names of the parameters that describe models of this type.

The parameters in this tuple are in the same order they should be passed in when initializing a model of a specific type. Some types of models, such as polynomial models, have a different number of parameters depending on some other property of the model, such as the degree.

When defining a custom model class the value of this attribute is automatically set by the Parameter attributes defined in the class body.
