PhotoCalTask¶

Python API summary¶

from lsst.pipe.tasks.photoCal import PhotoCalTask

classPhotoCalTask(refObjLoader=None, schema=None, **kwds): Calculate an Exposure’s zero-point given a set of flux measurements of stars matched to an input catalogue...

attributeconfig: Access configuration fields and retargetable subtasks.

methodrun(exposure, sourceCat, expId=0): Do photometric calibration - select matches to use and (possibly iteratively) compute the zero point...

Retargetable subtasks¶

reserve¶

Default: lsst.meas.algorithms.reserveSourcesTask.ReserveSourcesTask
Field type: ConfigurableField

Reserve sources from fitting

Configuration fields¶

applyColorTerms¶

Default: False
Field type: bool Field (optional)

Apply photometric color terms to reference stars? True: attempt to apply color terms; fail if color term data is not available for the specified reference catalog and filter. False: do not apply color terms.

colorterms¶

Data type: lsst.pipe.tasks.colorterms.ColortermLibrary
Field type: ConfigField

Library of photometric reference catalog name: color term dict (see also applyColorTerms).

fluxField¶

Default: 'slot_CalibFlux_instFlux'
Field type: str Field

Name of the source instFlux field to use. The associated flag field (‘<name>_flags’) will be implicitly included in badFlags.

magErrFloor¶

Default: 0.0
Field type: float RangeField
Range: [0.0,inf)

Additional magnitude uncertainty to be added in quadrature with measurement errors.

match¶

Data type: lsst.meas.astrom.directMatch.DirectMatchConfigWithoutLoader
Field type: ConfigField

Match to reference catalog

nIter¶

Default: 20
Field type: int Field

number of iterations

nSigma¶

Default: 3.0
Field type: float Field

clip at nSigma

photoCatName¶

Default: None
Field type: str Field (optional)

Name of photometric reference catalog; used to select a color term dict in colorterms. See also applyColorTerms.

sigmaMax¶

Default: 0.25
Field type: float Field (optional)

maximum sigma to use when clipping

useMedian¶

Default: True
Field type: bool Field

use median instead of mean to compute zeropoint
