SHARPener

This is a set of tools that have been developed in preparation of the SHARP survey.

The main function of sharpener is to identify the position of all continuum sources in a continuum image and extract a spectrum from each line of sight of these sources.

The spectra are then plotted.

sharpener can be run automatically using a .yml parameter file as run_sharpener -c <parameter_file.yml>, or through a IPython notebook.

To generate config with run_sharpener -gd <parameter_file.yml> and for help run_sharpener -h.

The following tutorials can guide you through the different capabilities of sharpener.

Installation

Requisites

• SHARPener makes use of the most common python packages (e.g. numpy, scipy, astropy, astroquery, prettytable) and addition to mpdaf and pypdf2.
• The parameter file is in yaml format, hence pyaml, and json packages should be installed.
• Tutorials make use of tabulate and glob for fancy outputs.
