CpFilterScanTask

class lsst.cp.pipe.CpFilterScanTask(**kwargs)

Bases: PipelineTask

Create filter scan from appropriate data.

This task constructs a filter scan from a sequence of flat exposures taken in the following manner:

  • A monochromator is set to a target wavelength.

  • An optional spectrum may be taken with the fiber spectrograph to provide an independent measure of the peak wavelength and bandpass.

  • A flat exposure is taken with a “reference filter,” usually a white-band or empty filter, that provides a baseline source brightness at the monochromator’s target wavelength.

  • A flat exposure is taken with the filter to be scanned.

  • Optional electrometer/photodiode data may also be taken during the two flat exposures to correct for source brightness variations.

From these pairs of exposures, we can determine the filter throughput by calculating the flux per second with the filter: \(F_filter(\lambda0) = median(f_amplifiers) / t_exposure\) And without: \(F_reference(\lambda0) = median(f_amplifiers) / t_exposure\) where the f_amplifiers are the per-amplifier statistics calculated by IsrTask. If the illumination source was perfectly stable, the filter throughput at that wavelength would simply be: \(throughput_raw(\lambda0) = F_filter / F_reference\)

We can correct for any illumination changes with the optional the electrometer measurements, E, which provide an independent measure of the incident flux for the two exposures, such that: \(throughput(\lambda0) = throughput_raw * E_reference / E_filter\)

Repeating this procedure at multiple monochromator settings builds up a catalog of throughput measurements across the filter bandpass. Additional differences can exist between the monochromator setting (retrieved here from the EFD) and the actual wavelengths of light that are permitted, so a matching CpMonochromatorScan can be generated to determine what the actual values of \(\lambda0\) observed were.

Methods Documentation

emptyMetadata() None

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

getFullMetadata() TaskMetadata

Get metadata for all tasks.

Returns:
metadataTaskMetadata

The 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() str

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

Returns:
fullNamestr

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”.

getName() str

Get the name of the task.

Returns:
taskNamestr

Name of the task.

getFullName

getTaskDict() dict[str, weakref.ReferenceType[lsst.pipe.base.task.Task]]

Get a dictionary of all tasks as a shallow copy.

Returns:
taskDictdict

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

classmethod makeField(doc: str) ConfigurableField

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

Parameters:
docstr

Help text for the field.

Returns:
configurableFieldlsst.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")
makeSubtask(name: str, **keyArgs: Any) None

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

Parameters:
namestr

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.
