Query ESO Almanac with given parameters.

get_sky_spectrum(return_type='table', filename=None)

Retrieve a fits.HDUList object from the SkyCalc server.

The HDUList can be returned in a variety of formats.

As of v0.1.3 the HDUList is no longer saved to disk. Rather it is stored in the attribute <SkyCalc>.last_skycalc_response.

Parameters

return_typestr

[“table”, “array”, “synphot”, “fits”]

filenamestr, optional

Default None. If not None, the returned fits.HDUList object is saved to disk under this path.

Returns

Based on the return type, the method returns either:

• “table”: tbl_return (astropy.Table)

• “array”: wave, trans, flux (3x np.ndarray)

• “synphot”: trans, flux (SpectralElement, SourceSpectrum,)

• “fits”: hdu (HDUList)

property keys

print_comments(*param_names)

Print descriptions of parameters. Print all if no names given.
