slicersim.scene.sources

Sources: spectral models feeding the scene elements.

This sub-package gathers the spectral models (the model_func of a SceneElement) that can be used to feed a scene. Each module implements one family of sources:

• supernovae: type Ia supernova models (SALT and Twins-Embedding).

• kilonova: kilonova models (POSSIS, Bulla 2019 and 2023) with a viewing angle dependency.

• blackbody: blackbody continuum sources.

• generic: generic analytic sources (power law).

• calspec: HST CalSpec spectrophotometric standards.

• stars: point sources built from stellar spectra (e.g. CalSpec stars).

• utils: helper tools shared by the source models.

A model function always takes the wavelength array lbda (in Angstrom) as first argument and returns a flux in erg/s/cm^2/A. The remaining parameters are introspected by SceneElement to build the list of mutable parameters, so they must be explicit (no **kwargs).
