Making Spiral Arm Maps with `whampy` ==================================== The :class:`~whampy.skySurvey.SkySurvey` class has a method :method:`~whampy.whampyTableMixin.get_spiral_slice` to quickly extract sky section maps with the survey using tracks in longitude-velocity space. `~whampy` comes pre-loaded with spiral arm tracks from `Reid et al. 2016`_. .. _Reid et al. (2016): https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2016ApJ...823...77R/abstract>`:: >>> from whampy.skySurvey import SkySurvey >>> # Load Survey >>> survey = SkySurvey() >>> # Extract Perseus Arm Map >>> perseus_arm = survey.get_spiral_slice(track = "perseus", lrange = [0,50]) >>> # Sky Map >>> fig = perseus_arm.intensity_map(colorbar = True, s_factor = 2, ... cbar_kwargs={"orientation":"horizontal"}) .. image:: images/perseus_arm_map.png :width: 600
