Radio Profile Utilities

Generate ellipses/annuli to create radial profile plots of radio or other wavelength data. Includes support for high-inclination galaxies and directional radial profiles.

There may be bugs or other unexpected behaviour, in which case just ping me on Slack or send an email to [email protected]. Also let me know if there are typos in any documentation.

Currently, the documentation for directional radial profiles is really sparse. I will finish the docstrings eventually. Until then, just ping me if you have difficulty using or understanding the directional radial profiles.

Requirements

The following packages are required:

1. astropy
2. matplotlib
3. numpy
4. photutils
5. radio_beam
6. copy (a Python standard library)

Quick Start

1. Download the repository

   git clone https://github.com/Wilson-Think-Tank/radial_profile.git

2. Look at radial_profile_example.ipynb

3. Profit?

As always, feel free to reach out if you need any help or clarification using this package. In particular, the documentation for how we treat high-inclination galaxies is unbelievably word-vomity, but I should be able to resolve any confusion if you just ping me or send me an email. I can also do Zoom calls for a small fee of $3.14*!
