cenwavefunc: Central and Pivot Wavelength Calculators

In asgr/ProSpect: Professional Spectral Analysis Package

Central and Pivot Wavelength Calculators

Description

Calculate the central or pivot wavelength of a given filter.

Usage

cenwavefunc(filter)
pivwavefunc(filter)

Arguments

filter

Two column matrix; column one must be flux in Angstroms, column two must be a filter response. These are the type returned by getfilt (see Examples).

Details

The central wavelength (often called the pivot wavelength) is used to compute various filter properties. In ProSpect they have been pre-computed for the provided band passes (see cenwave).

Value

Returns the central or pivot wavelength in Angstroms.
