Installation

As everything is just pure python, you don't really need to "install" at all. To be able to use the tools from anywhere on your system, add the aotools directory to your PYTHONTPATH. Alternatively you can use one of the methods below.

Anaconda ++++++++

AOtools can be installed in an anaconda environment using:

.. code-block:: python

conda install -c aotools aotools

Pip +++

AOtools can be installed using pip:

.. code-block:: python

pip install aotools

(which may require admin or root privileges)

From Source +++++++++++ Alternatively, to install the tools to your system python distribution from source, run:

.. code-block:: python

python setup.py install

(which may require admin or root privileges) from the aotools directory.

Documentation +++++++++++++ Full documentation is hosted by Read the Docs <https://aotools.readthedocs.io/en/v1.0.1/>_

Issues and Contributions ++++++++++++++++++++++++

Have you found a problem with an AO Tool? Is there something you use often that you think should be included? Please have a quick look at the source code and see if you can fix the problem or make an addition. AOtools is a collaboration between many AO scientists across the world to try and make a well tested and reliable library of AO based functions. There isn't neccessarily a central "developer" to make significant changes, therefore if you think you can help then please get involved, make an issue, clone the code or make a pull request! Feel free to make an issue for discussion.

r0 in m or cm?

opened on 2022-10-07 07:11:31 by andrewpaulreeves

I've been using some functions from atmos_conversions for converting r0 -> cn2 and back. Sometimes r0 is listed in the docs as being is cm, sometimes in m. Is it really in cm sometimes? From a quick look at the equations I would guess its mostly in m.

Numba-ise more functions

opened on 2022-02-09 08:18:09 by andrewpaulreeves

I've just noticed the existance of the library numba-scipy, which adds more an API for numba to use scipy functions, such as "special" functions. This would be great to speed up some functions, such as "phase_covariance", which can then be much faster in making covariance matrices, etc...

added type annotations

Simulating turbulence on 2D extended images

opened on 2020-04-12 04:26:51 by joncox123

I would like to simulate the effects of atmospheric turbulence on 2D images, like galaxies or planets, in the focal plane. Have you added support for applying PSF to 2D images? If not, do you have a timeframe for doing so?

Your paper states:

Building on this we will develop methods for applying a PSF to extended images, to allow for the degradation of wide-field images by the effects of atmospheric turbulence.

Adding STMAG and AB mag to flux conversion

Adding as an afflilated package

This would be great to have as an affiliated package!
