Whampy Documentation

The whampy package provides an easy way to load, view, and do science with the Wisconsin H-Alpha Mapper (WHAM) Sky Survey. It provides the following main features:

-The ability to load the Sky Survey Data from the FITS table -The ability to quickly plot sections of the sky with beam maps -The ability to calculate moment maps and arithmetic using the data

Quick Start

Here is a simple script demonstrating the modspectra package:

>>> from whampy.skySurvey import SkySurvey
>>> # Load the Survey
>>> survey = SkySurvey()
>>> # Compute Moments
>>> moment_0, err_0 = survey.moment(order = 0, return_sigma = True)
>>> moment_1, err_1 = survey.moment(order = 1, return_sigma = True)
>>> moment_2, err_2 = survey.moment(order = 2, return_sigma = True)

Using whampy

This package is built using the astropy package and matplotlib.
