Photometry#

Overview#

The photometry module provides tools for astronomical photometric calculations, particularly useful for adaptive optics systems and astronomical observations:

  • Magnitude conversions: Converting between different magnitude systems

  • Sky brightness: Modeling sky background and atmospheric emission

  • Spectral analysis: Working with stellar and atmospheric spectra

  • Filter systems: Standard photometric filter definitions and conversions

  • Source flux calculations: Computing photon counts from astronomical sources

  • ESO Sky Calculator integration: Interface to ESO sky background models
