Methods Documentation

applyProperMotions(catalog, epoch)¶

Apply proper motion correction to a reference catalog.

Adjust position and position error in the catalog for proper motion to the specified epoch, modifying the catalog in place.

Parameters:

catalog : lsst.afw.table.SimpleCatalog

Catalog of positions, containing at least these fields:

Coordinates, retrieved by the table’s coordinate key.
coord_raErr : Error in Right Ascension (rad).
coord_decErr : Error in Declination (rad).
pm_ra : Proper motion in Right Ascension (rad/yr,

East positive)
pm_raErr : Error in pm_ra (rad/yr), optional.
pm_dec : Proper motion in Declination (rad/yr,

North positive)
pm_decErr : Error in pm_dec (rad/yr), optional.
epoch : Mean epoch of object (an astropy.time.Time)

epoch : astropy.time.Time

Epoch to which to correct proper motion. If None, do not apply PM corrections or raise if config.requireProperMotion is True.

Raises:

RuntimeError: Raised if config.requireProperMotion is set but we cannot apply the proper motion correction for some reason.

emptyMetadata()¶: Empty (clear) the metadata for this Task and all sub-Tasks.

getAllSchemaCatalogs()¶

Get schema catalogs for all tasks in the hierarchy, combining the results into a single dict.

Returns:	schemacatalogs : `dict` Keys are butler dataset type, values are a empty catalog (an instance of the appropriate `lsst.afw.table` Catalog type) for all tasks in the hierarchy, from the top-level task down through all subtasks.

Notes

This method may be called on any task in the hierarchy; it will return the same answer, regardless.

The default implementation should always suffice. If your subtask uses schemas the override Task.getSchemaCatalogs, not this method.

getFullMetadata()¶

Get metadata for all tasks.

Returns:	metadata : `lsst.daf.base.PropertySet` The `PropertySet` keys are the full task name. Values are metadata for the top-level task and all subtasks, sub-subtasks, etc.

Notes

The returned metadata includes timing information (if @timer.timeMethod is used) and any metadata set by the task. The name of each item consists of the full task name with . replaced by :, followed by . and the name of the item, e.g.:

topLevelTaskName:subtaskName:subsubtaskName.itemName

using : in the full task name disambiguates the rare situation that a task has a subtask and a metadata item with the same name.

getFullName()¶

Get the task name as a hierarchical name including parent task names.

Returns:	fullName : `str` The full name consists of the name of the parent task and each subtask separated by periods. For example: The full name of top-level task “top” is simply “top”. The full name of subtask “sub” of top-level task “top” is “top.sub”. The full name of subtask “sub2” of subtask “sub” of top-level task “top” is “top.sub.sub2”.

getMetadataBox(bbox, wcs, filterName=None, photoCalib=None, epoch=None)¶

Return metadata about the load.

This metadata is used for reloading the catalog (e.g., for reconstituting a normalised match list.

Parameters:

bbox : lsst.geom.Box2I or lsst.geom.Box2D: Pixel bounding box.
wcs : lsst.afw.geom.SkyWcs: WCS; used to convert pixel positions to sky coordinates.
filterName : str or None, optional: Name of camera filter, or None or "" for the default filter.
photoCalib : None: Deprecated, only included for api compatibility.
epoch : astropy.time.Time or None, optional: Epoch to which to correct proper motion and parallax, or None to not apply such corrections.

Returns:

metadata : lsst.daf.base.PropertyList: Metadata about the load.

getMetadataCircle(coord, radius, filterName, photoCalib=None, epoch=None)¶

Return metadata about the load.

This metadata is used for reloading the catalog (e.g., for reconstituting a normalised match list.

Parameters:

coord : lsst.geom.SpherePoint: ICRS center of the search region.
radius : lsst.geom.Angle: Radius of the search region.
filterName : str: Name of camera filter, or None or "" for the default filter.
photoCalib : None: Deprecated, only included for api compatibility.
epoch : astropy.time.Time (optional): Epoch to which to correct proper motion and parallax, or None to not apply such corrections.

Returns:

metadata : lsst.daf.base.PropertyList: Metadata about the load

getName()¶

Get the name of the task.

Returns:	taskName : `str` Name of the task.

Task.getAllSchemaCatalogs

Notes

Warning

Subclasses that use schemas must override this method. The default implementation returns an empty dict.

This method may be called at any time after the Task is constructed, which means that all task schemas should be computed at construction time, not when data is actually processed. This reflects the philosophy that the schema should not depend on the data.

Returning catalogs rather than just schemas allows us to save e.g. slots for SourceCatalog as well.

getShards(shardIdList)¶

Get shards by ID.

Parameters:	shardIdList : `list` of `int` A list of integer shard ids.
Returns:	catalogs : `list` of `lsst.afw.table.SimpleCatalog` A list of reference catalogs, one for each entry in shardIdList.

getTaskDict()¶

Get a dictionary of all tasks as a shallow copy.

Returns:	taskDict : `dict` Dictionary containing full task name: task object for the top-level task and all subtasks, sub-subtasks, etc.

joinMatchListWithCatalog(matchCat, sourceCat)¶

Relink an unpersisted match list to sources and reference objects.

A match list is persisted and unpersisted as a catalog of IDs produced by afw.table.packMatches(), with match metadata (as returned by the astrometry tasks) in the catalog’s metadata attribute. This method converts such a match catalog into a match list, with links to source records and reference object records.

Parameters:	matchCat : `lsst.afw.table.BaseCatalog` Unperisted packed match list. `matchCat.table.getMetadata()` must contain match metadata, as returned by the astrometry tasks. sourceCat : `lsst.afw.table.SourceCatalog` Source catalog. As a side effect, the catalog will be sorted by ID.
Returns:	matchList : `lsst.afw.table.ReferenceMatchVector` Match list.

loadPixelBox(bbox, wcs, filterName=None, photoCalib=None, epoch=None)¶

Load reference objects that overlap a rectangular pixel region.

Parameters:

bbox : lsst.geom.Box2I or lsst.geom.Box2D: Bounding box for pixels.
wcs : lsst.afw.geom.SkyWcs: WCS; used to convert pixel positions to sky coordinates and vice-versa.
filterName : str or None, optional: Name of filter, or None or "" for the default filter. This is used for flux values in case we have flux limits (which are not yet implemented).
photoCalib : None: Deprecated, only included for api compatibility.
epoch : astropy.time.Time or None, optional: Epoch to which to correct proper motion and parallax, or None to not apply such corrections.

Returns:

results : lsst.pipe.base.Struct

A Struct containing the following fields: refCat : lsst.afw.catalog.SimpleCatalog

A catalog of reference objects with the standard schema, as documented in the main doc string for LoadReferenceObjects. The catalog is guaranteed to be contiguous.

fluxField : str: Name of flux field for specified filterName.

Notes

The search algorithm works by searching in a region in sky coordinates whose center is the center of the bbox and radius is large enough to just include all 4 corners of the bbox. Stars that lie outside the bbox are then trimmed from the list.

loadSkyCircle(ctrCoord, radius, filterName=None, epoch=None, centroids=False)¶

Load reference objects that overlap a circular sky region.

Parameters:

ctrCoord : lsst.geom.SpherePoint: ICRS center of search region.
radius : lsst.geom.Angle: Radius of search region.
filterName : str or None, optional: Name of filter, or None or "" for the default filter. This is used for flux values in case we have flux limits (which are not yet implemented).
epoch : astropy.time.Time or None, optional: Epoch to which to correct proper motion and parallax, or None to not apply such corrections.
centroids : bool, optional: Add centroid fields to the loaded Schema. loadPixelBox expects these fields to exist.

Returns:

results : lsst.pipe.base.Struct

A Struct containing the following fields: refCat : lsst.afw.catalog.SimpleCatalog

A catalog of reference objects with the standard schema, as documented in the main doc string for LoadReferenceObjects. The catalog is guaranteed to be contiguous.

fluxField : str: Name of flux field for specified filterName.

Notes

Note that subclasses are responsible for performing the proper motion correction, since this is the lowest-level interface for retrieving the catalog.

classmethod makeField(doc)¶

Make a lsst.pex.config.ConfigurableField for this task.

Parameters:	doc : `str` Help text for the field.
Returns:	configurableField : `lsst.pex.config.ConfigurableField` A `ConfigurableField` for this task.

Examples

Provides a convenient way to specify this task is a subtask of another task.

Here is an example of use:

class OtherTaskConfig(lsst.pex.config.Config):
    aSubtask = ATaskClass.makeField("brief description of task")

static makeMinimalSchema(filterNameList, *, addCentroid=False, addIsPhotometric=False, addIsResolved=False, addIsVariable=False, coordErrDim=2, addProperMotion=False, properMotionErrDim=2, addParallax=False)¶

Make a standard schema for reference object catalogs.

Parameters:

filterNameList : list of str

List of filter names. Used to create <filterName>_flux fields.

addIsPhotometric : bool

If True then add field “photometric”.

addIsResolved : bool

If True then add field “resolved”.

addIsVariable : bool

If True then add field “variable”.

coordErrDim : int

Number of coord error fields; must be one of 0, 2, 3:

If 2 or 3: add fields “coord_raErr” and “coord_decErr”.
If 3: also add field “coord_radecErr”.

addProperMotion : bool

If True add fields “epoch”, “pm_ra”, “pm_dec” and “pm_flag”.

properMotionErrDim : int

Number of proper motion error fields; must be one of 0, 2, 3; ignored if addProperMotion false: - If 2 or 3: add fields “pm_raErr” and “pm_decErr”. - If 3: also add field “pm_radecErr”.

addParallax : bool

If True add fields “epoch”, “parallax”, “parallaxErr” and “parallax_flag”.

Returns:

schema : lsst.afw.table.Schema: Schema for reference catalog, an lsst.afw.table.SimpleCatalog.

Notes

Reference catalogs support additional covariances, such as covariance between RA and proper motion in declination, that are not supported by this method, but can be added after calling this method.

makeSubtask(name, **keyArgs)¶

Create a subtask as a new instance as the name attribute of this task.

Parameters:	name : `str` Brief name of the subtask. keyArgs Extra keyword arguments used to construct the task. The following arguments are automatically provided and cannot be overridden: “config”. “parentTask”.

Notes

The subtask must be defined by Task.config.name, an instance of ConfigurableField or RegistryField.

timer(name, logLevel=10)¶

Context manager to log performance data for an arbitrary block of code.

Parameters:	name : `str` Name of code being timed; data will be logged using item name: `Start` and `End`. logLevel A `logging` level constant.
