EXOSIMS.PostProcessing.PostProcessing2 module

class EXOSIMS.PostProcessing.PostProcessing2.PostProcessing2(**specs)[source]

Bases: PostProcessing

PostProcessing2 class

Updated PostProcessing det_occur function that utilized BackgroundSource module GalaxiesFaintStars to calculate FA probability.

det_occur(SNR, mode, TL, sInd, intTime)[source]

Determines if a detection has occurred and returns booleans

This method returns two booleans where True gives the case.

Parameters:

  • SNR (float ndarray) – signal-to-noise ratio of the planets around the selected target

  • mode (dict) – Selected observing mode

  • TL (TargetList module) – TargetList class object

  • sInd (integer) – Index of the star being observed

  • intTime (astropy Quantity) – Selected star integration time for detection

Returns:

FA (boolean):

False alarm (false positive) boolean.

MD (boolean ndarray):

Missed detection (false negative) boolean with the size of number of planets around the target.

Return type:

tuple

Note

This implementation assumes the dark hole is set by intCutoff_dMag. Alternatively, the true integration depth could be calculated from the integration time.
