prospect.sources

Classes in the prospect.sources module are used to instantiate sps objects. They are defined by the presence of a get_spectrum() method that takes a wavelength array, a list of filter objects, and a parameter dictionary and return a spectrum, a set of broadband fluxes, and a blob of ancillary information.

Most of these classes are a wrapper on fsps.StellarPopulation objects, and as such have a significant memory footprint. The parameter dictionary can include any fsps parameter, as well as parameters used by these classes to control redshifting, spectral smoothing, wavelength calibration, and other aspects of the model.
