Detailed Description

The ReadFitsGeometry class is a subclass of the GenGeometry class, and describes a geometry characterized by observations. A 2D observed image FITS file is read into SKIRT, and deprojected assuming a certain position angle and inclination. The density is assumed to follow a exponential profile in the vertical directions,

\[ \rho(z) = \rho_0\, \exp\left(-\frac{|z|}{h_z}\right). \]

By running a SKIRT simulation with inclination of 0 degrees and position angle of the simulated galaxy, the SKIRT model images can be compared with the observations. The model geometry is set by nine parameters: the input filename, the pixel scale \(pix\), the position angle \(pa\), the inclination \(incl\), the number of pixels in x and y direction \(n_x\) and \(n_y\), the center of galaxy in (x,y) image coordinates \(x_c\) and \(y_c\) and the vertical scale height \(h_z\).

This item type is displayed only if the Boolean expression "Level2" evaluates to true after replacing the names by true or false depending on their presence.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ReadFitsGeometry()

ReadFitsGeometry::ReadFitsGeometry ( )
inlineprotected

Default constructor for concrete Item subclass ReadFitsGeometry : "a geometry read from a 2D FITS file" .

Member Function Documentation

◆ centerX()

ReadFitsGeometry::centerX ( ) const
inline

This function returns the value of the discoverable double property centerX : "x coordinate of the center (in pixels)" .

The minimum value for this property is "]0" .

◆ centerY()

ReadFitsGeometry::centerY ( ) const
inline

This function returns the value of the discoverable double property centerY : "y coordinate of the center (in pixels)" .

The minimum value for this property is "]0" .

◆ density()

double ReadFitsGeometry::density ( Position  bfr) const
overridevirtual

This function returns the density \(\rho(x,y,z)\) at the position (x,y,z).

Implements Geometry.

◆ deproject()

void ReadFitsGeometry::deproject ( double &  x) const
private

This function deprojects the x coordinate of a point in the inclined plane into the x coordinate of that point in the world coordinate system. The following operation is applied:

\[x=\frac{x'}{\cos{\theta}}\]

where \(\theta\) is the inclination.

◆ derotate()

void ReadFitsGeometry::derotate ( double &  x,
double &  y 
) const
private

This function transforms a set of x and y coordinates in the plane of the image into the x and y coordinates in the (derotated) inclined plane. The transformation matrix is the inverse of the matrix used for the rotate function.

◆ filename()

string ReadFitsGeometry::filename ( ) const
inline

This function returns the value of the discoverable string property filename : "the name of the input image file" .

◆ generatePosition()

Position ReadFitsGeometry::generatePosition ( ) const
overridevirtual

This function generates a random position \((x,y,z)\) from the geometry, by drawing a random point from the appropriate probability density distribution function. The \((x,y)\) coordinates are derived from the normalized cumulative luminosity vector of the observed 2D projection. The z coordinate is derived from the vertical exponential probability distribution function.

Implements Geometry.

◆ inclination()

ReadFitsGeometry::inclination ( ) const
inline

This function returns the value of the discoverable double property inclination : "the inclination angle θ of the system" .

This property represents a physical quantity of type "posangle" .

The minimum value for this property is "[0 deg" .
