bpt_type

edge_pydb.conversion.bpt_type(fluxtab, ext='', name='BPT', sf=True, prob=False, grid_size=5)[source]

Adds BPT classification to the flux_elines table. BPT==-1 means in the star-forming region of the diagram. An additional column SF_BPT is set to 1 when BPT==-1 and Halpha EW > 6. This function should be run before ZOH_M13. For more information see Husemann et al. (2013A&A…549A..87H) Figure 7.

Parameters:
fluxtabastropy.Table

flux_elines table extracted from Pipe3D output

extstring

suffix for selected column names, e.g. ‘_rg’ or ‘_sm’

namestring

name of the output column

sfboolean

True to also calculate the SF_BPT column using Halpha EW.

probboolean

True to also calculate the BPT probabilities as an additional column

grid_sizefloat

The size of the square grid where BPT probabilities constructed

Returns:
if sf==False and prob==False:

one astropy.table.Column [BPT]

if sf==False and prob==True:

two astropy.table.Column [BPT, p_BPT]

if sf==True and prob==False:

two astropy.table.Column [BPT, SF_BPT]

if sf==True and prob==True:

three astropy.table.Column [BPT, SF_BPT, p_BPT]
