stmass_pc2¶

edge_pydb.conversion.stmass_pc2(stmass_as2, dz=None, dist=<Quantity 10. Mpc>, pixsca=<Quantity 1. arcsec>, name='sigstar')[source]¶

Convert units for stellar surface density to Msol/pc2, optionally applying dezonification image.

Parameters:

stmass_as2numpy.array or astropy.table.Column: stellar surface density in Pipe3D units
dznumpy.array or astropy.table.Column: dezonification image from Pipe3D (optional)
distfloat or astropy.Quantity: The distance of the galaxy, assumed to be in Mpc if no units
pixscafloat or astropy.Quantity: The pixel scale of the IFU image, assumed to be in arcsec if no units. Default: 1 arcsec, appropriate for CALIFA.
namestring: The name of the output Column, if input is a Column

Returns:
