Make funciton to convert BPASS spectra to real units - Spectrum class needed? #14

Closed HeloiseS closed 3 years ago

HeloiseS commented 4 years ago

I need a function that converts BPASS spectra to observer units.

Depending on what i end up doing with my spectra I might need to make a Spectra(BPASSObject) class.

Just to summarise what @maxbriel and I discussed yesterday for the record:

The BPASSspectrum classe would be a utility to help easily manipulate single BPASS spectra and turn them into observer units, modify distances, smooth, etc... for data analysis purposes.

This is will not be written as a object to use in wide applications that require speed and a large number of spectra to be processed. In these instances, hoki will rely on existing Python libraries such as numpy

Can't astropy.units do this for you?
