Introduction

This notebook uses photutils to detect objects/galaxies in NIRCam deep imaging. Detections are first made in a F200W image, then isophotal photometry is obtained in all 9 filters (F090W, F115W, F150W, F200W, F277W, F335M, F356W, F410M, F444W). PSF-matching is used to correct photometry measured in the Long Wavelength images (redder than F200W).

After saving the photometry catalog, the notebook demonstrates how one would load the notebook in a new session. It demonstrates some simple analysis of the full catalog and on an individual galaxy. By comparing the measured colors to simulated input colors, it shows the measurements are more accurate after PSF corrections, though they could be improved further.

The notebook analyzes only the central 1000 x 1000 pixels (30” x 30”) of the full JADES simulation. These cutouts have been staged at STScI with permission from the authors (Williams et al.).

NOTES:

• This is a work in progress. More accurate photometry may be obtainable.

• These JADES images are simulated using Guitarra, not MIRAGE. They have different properties and units (e-/s) than JWST pipeline products (MJy/sr).

• All images are aligned to the same 0.03” pixel grid prior to analysis. This alignment can be done using reproject, if needed.

• The flux uncertainty calculations could be improved further by accounting for correlated noise and/or measuring the noise in each image more directly.

Developer’s Note:

Summary of issues reported below:

• units work with plot but are incompatible with errorbar and text

• flux units can be automatically converted to AB magnitudes, but flux uncertainties cannot be automatically converted to magnitude uncertainties

• secondary axis should automatically handle conversion between flux and AB magnitude units

• sharex and sharey don’t work with WCS projection

And I couldn’t figure out how to:

• Make plot axes autoscale to only some of plotted data

• Make tooltips hover over data points under cursor in interactive plot

# Check PEP 8 style formatting
# %load_ext pycodestyle_magic
# %flake8_on --ignore E261,E501,W291,W2,E302,E305

Import packages

• Numpy for general array computations

• Photutils for photometry calculations, PSF matching

• Astropy for FITS, WCS, tables, units, color images, plotting, convolution

• os and glob for file management

• copy for table modfications

• Matplotlib for plotting

• Watermark to check versions of all imports (optional)

Matplotlib setup for plotting

There are two versions

• notebook – gives interactive plots, but makes the overall notebook a bit harder to scroll

• inline – gives non-interactive plots for better overall scrolling

Developer’s Notes:

`%matplotlib notebook` occasionally creates oversized plot; need to rerun cell to get it to settle back down

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib as mpl

# Use this version for non-interactive plots (easier scrolling of the notebook)
%matplotlib inline

# Use this version if you want interactive plots
# %matplotlib notebook

import matplotlib.ticker as ticker
mpl_colors = plt.rcParams['axes.prop_cycle'].by_key()['color']

# These gymnastics are needed to make the sizes of the figures
# be the same in both the inline and notebook versions
%config InlineBackend.print_figure_kwargs = {'bbox_inches': None}

mpl.rcParams['savefig.dpi'] = 100
mpl.rcParams['figure.dpi'] = 100

import mplcursors  # optional to hover over plotted points and reveal ID number

# Show versions of Python and imported libraries
try:
    import watermark
    %load_ext watermark
    # %watermark -n -v -m -g -iv
    %watermark -iv -v
except ImportError:
    pass

Create list of images to be loaded and analyzed

All data and weight images must be aligned to the same pixel grid. (If needed, use reproject to do so.)

input_file_url = 'https://data.science.stsci.edu/redirect/JWST/jwst-data_analysis_tools/nircam_photometry/'

filters = 'F090W F115W F150W F200W F277W F335M F356W F410M F444W'.split()
wavelengths = np.array([int(filt[1:4]) / 100 for filt in filters]) * u.um  # e.g., F115W = 1.15 microns

# Data images [e-/s], unlike JWST pipeline images that will have units [Myr/sr]
image_files = {}
for filt in filters:
    filename = f'jades_jwst_nircam_goods_s_crop_{filt}.fits'
    image_files[filt] = os.path.join(input_file_url, filename)

# Weight images (Inverse Variance Maps; IVM)
weight_files = {}
for filt in filters:
    filename = f'jades_jwst_nircam_goods_s_crop_{filt}_wht.fits'
    weight_files[filt] = os.path.join(input_file_url, filename)

Load detection image: F200W

detection_filter = filt = 'F200W'
infile = image_files[filt]
hdu = fits.open(infile)
data = hdu[0].data
imwcs = wcs.WCS(hdu[0].header, hdu)

weight = fits.open(weight_files[filt])[0].data

Report image size and field of view

ny, nx = data.shape
# image_pixel_scale = np.abs(hdu[0].header['CD1_1']) * 3600
image_pixel_scale = wcs.utils.proj_plane_pixel_scales(imwcs)[0] 
image_pixel_scale *= imwcs.wcs.cunit[0].to('arcsec')
outline = '%d x %d pixels' % (ny, nx)
outline += ' = %g" x %g"' % (ny * image_pixel_scale, nx * image_pixel_scale)
outline += ' (%.2f" / pixel)' % image_pixel_scale
print(outline)

1000 x 1000 pixels = 30" x 30" (0.03" / pixel)

Create color images (optional)

# 3 NIRCam short wavelength channel images
r = fits.open(image_files['F200W'])[0].data
g = fits.open(image_files['F150W'])[0].data
b = fits.open(image_files['F090W'])[0].data
color_image_short_wavelength = make_lupton_rgb(r, g, b, Q=5, stretch=0.02) # , minimum=-0.001

# 3 NIRCam long wavelength channel images
r = fits.open(image_files['F444W'])[0].data
g = fits.open(image_files['F356W'])[0].data
b = fits.open(image_files['F277W'])[0].data

color_image_long_wavelength = make_lupton_rgb(r, g, b, Q=5, stretch=0.02) # , minimum=-0.001

Developer’s Note:

sharex & sharey appear to have some compatibility issues with projection=imwcs

As a workaround, I tried but was unable to turn off yticklabels in the right plot below

fig = plt.figure(figsize=(9.5, 4))

ax_sw = fig.add_subplot(1, 2, 1, projection=imwcs) # , sharex=True, sharey=True)
ax_sw.imshow(color_image_short_wavelength, origin='lower')
ax_sw.set_xlabel('Right Ascension')
ax_sw.set_ylabel('Declination')
ax_sw.set_title('Short Wavelength Channel')

ax_lw = fig.add_subplot(1, 2, 2, projection=imwcs, sharex=ax_sw, sharey=ax_sw)
ax_lw.imshow(color_image_long_wavelength, origin='lower')
ax_lw.set_xlabel('Right Ascension')
ax_lw.set_title('Long Wavelength Channel')
ax_lw.set_ylabel('')
# ax_lw.set(yticklabels=[])  # this didn't work

# plt.subplots_adjust(left=0.15)
print('Interactive zoom / pan controls both images simultaneously')

Convert measured fluxes (data units) to magnitudes

https://docs.astropy.org/en/stable/units/equivalencies.html#photometric-zero-point-equivalency

https://docs.astropy.org/en/stable/units/logarithmic_units.html#logarithmic-units

Developer note:

flux units can be automatically converted to magnitude units
but flux uncertainties *cannot* be automatically converted to magnitude uncertainties
thus I wrote this function to do so

Note magnitude uncertainties for detections should probably be u.mag instead of u.ABmag
but magnitude uncertainties for non-detections quote u.ABmag upper limits
They need to be the same, so we go with u.ABmag

# not detected: mag =  99; magerr = 1-sigma upper limit assuming zero flux
# not observed: mag = -99; magerr = 0
def fluxes2mags(flux, fluxerr):
    nondet = flux < 0  # Non-detection if flux is negative
    unobs = (fluxerr <= 0) + (fluxerr == np.inf)  # Unobserved if flux uncertainty is negative or infinity

    mag = flux.to(u.ABmag)
    magupperlimit = fluxerr.to(u.ABmag) # 1-sigma upper limit if flux=0

    mag = np.where(nondet, 99 * u.ABmag, mag)
    mag = np.where(unobs, -99 * u.ABmag, mag)

    magerr = 2.5 * np.log10(1 + fluxerr/flux) 
    magerr = magerr.value * u.ABmag

    magerr = np.where(nondet, magupperlimit, magerr)
    magerr = np.where(unobs, 0 * u.ABmag, magerr)
    
    return mag, magerr

# Includes features I couldn't find in astropy:
# mag = 99 / -99 for non-detections / unobserved
# flux uncertainties -> mag uncertainties

PSF magnitude corrections

Color corrections are perfomed as described here: https://www.stsci.edu/~dcoe/ColorPro/color

Note this is different from one common approach, which is to degrade every image to the broadest PSF.

Photometry is only corrected in Long Wavelength images > 2.4 microns. The F200W detection image is convolved (blurred) to the PSF of each Long Wavelength image. Then we correct colors based on the magnitudes lost in that aperture:

• PSF_magnitude_corrections = detection_image_magnitudes - blurred_detection_image_magnitudes

In practice, we actually correct the fluxes:

• PSF_flux_corrections = detection_image_fluxes / blurred_detection_image_fluxes

Load PSFs

PSF files used in this notebook were extracted from tar files available on JDox:
https://jwst-docs.stsci.edu/near-infrared-camera/nircam-predicted-performance/nircam-point-spread-functions#NIRCamPointSpreadFunctions-SimulatedNIRCamPSFs
PSFs_SW_filters (short wavelength channel): https://stsci.box.com/s/s2lepxr9086gq4sogr3kwftp54n1c5vl
PSFs_LW_filters (long wavelength channel): https://stsci.box.com/s/gzl7blxb1k3p4n66gs7jvt7xorfrotyb

Each FITS file contains:
– hdu[0]: a 4x oversampled PSF
– hdu[1]: PSF at detector pixel scale (0.031” and 0.063” in the short and long wavelength channels, respectively)
This notebook will use the latter: PSF at detector pixel scale. We find no advantage to the former for this notebook.

Developer’s Note:

automatic secondary axis magnitudes don't work when fluxes extend to negative values
so I wrote my own code to do this

def add_magnitude_axis(ax, flux_units=u.nJy, plothuge=True):
    ylo, yhi = plt.ylim() * flux_units
    maghi = yhi.to(u.ABmag).value
    ytx1 = np.ceil(maghi * 10) / 10.  # 24.101 -> 24.2
    ytx2 = np.ceil(maghi)  # 24.1 -> 25

    fpart = ytx1 - int(ytx1)  # 0.2
    if np.isclose(fpart, 0) or np.isclose(fpart, 0.9):
        ytx1 = []
    elif np.isclose(fpart, 0.1) or np.isclose(fpart, 0.2):
        ytx1 = np.array([ytx1, ytx2-0.7, ytx2-0.5, ytx2-0.3])  # 24.1, 24.3, 24.5, 24.7
    elif np.isclose(fpart, 0.3) or np.isclose(fpart, 0.4):
        ytx1 = np.array([ytx1, ytx2-0.5, ytx2-0.3])  # 24.3, 24.5, 24.7
    elif np.isclose(fpart, 0.5):
        ytx1 = np.array([ytx1, ytx2-0.3])  # 24.5, 24.7
    elif np.isclose(fpart, 0.6):
        ytx1 = np.array([ytx1, ytx2-0.2])  # 24.6, 24.8

    if isinstance(ytx1, float):
        ytx1 = np.array([ytx1])

    if plothuge:
        ytx3 = ytx2 + np.array([0, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2])
    else:
        ytx3 = ytx2 + np.array([0, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3])

    ytx2 = np.array([ytx2])
    ytx = np.concatenate([ytx1, ytx3])
    yts = ['%g' % mag for mag in ytx]

    ytx = (ytx * u.ABmag).to(flux_units).value
    
    ax2 = ax.twinx()
    ax.yaxis.set_label_position('left')
    ax2.yaxis.set_label_position('right')
    ax.yaxis.tick_left()
    ax2.yaxis.tick_right()

    ax2.set_yticks(ytx)
    ax2.set_yticklabels(yts)
    ax2.set_ylabel('Magnitude (AB)')
    ax2.set_ylim(ylo.value, yhi.value)
    ax2.set_zorder(-100)  # interactive cursor will output left axis ax

Developer’s Note:

errorbar doesn't work with units either

fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(8, 6))

plt.plot(wavelengths, input_fluxes, 'o-', label='Input fluxes', zorder=10)

label = 'Measured PSF-corrected fluxes $\\times$ %.1f' % flux_factor
plt.errorbar(wavelengths.value, output_fluxes * flux_factor, output_flux_errs * flux_factor,
             ms=8, marker='s', mfc=mpl_colors[1], c='k', lw=3, alpha=0.5, ls='none', label=label)

label = 'Measured uncorrected fluxes $\\times$ %.1f' % flux_factor
plt.errorbar(wavelengths.value, output_fluxes * flux_factor / PSF_flux_corrections, output_flux_errs * flux_factor,
             ms=8, marker='s', mfc='r', c='k', lw=3, alpha=0.5, ls='none', label=label, zorder=-10)

Developer’s Notes:

Ideally, the secondary axis should know how to convert between units.
As a workaround, I wrote functions and fed them in.

Even then, this only works so long as fluxes are positive.
Clipping all fluxes to positive values doesn't work either.

I would like to automatically scale the y limits to only *some* of the plotted data along the lines of:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7386872/make-matplotlib-autoscaling-ignore-some-of-the-plots
But that old solution didn't work.
So for now, I just hard-coded a range that works for this object: y=10-70.

fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(8, 6))

if 0:  # this didn't work
    ax.autoscale(True)
    detections = output_fluxes > 0
    ax.plot(wavelengths[detections], output_fluxes[detections] * flux_factor, visible=False)
    ax.autoscale(False)

plt.plot(wavelengths, input_fluxes, 'o-', label='Input fluxes', zorder=10, scaley=False)

label = 'Measured PSF-corrected fluxes $\\times$ %.1f' % flux_factor
plt.errorbar(wavelengths.value, output_fluxes * flux_factor, output_flux_errs * flux_factor,
             ms=8, marker='s', mfc=mpl_colors[1], c='k', lw=3, alpha=0.5, ls='none', label=label)

label = 'Measured uncorrected fluxes $\\times$ %.1f' % flux_factor
plt.errorbar(wavelengths.value, output_fluxes * flux_factor / PSF_flux_corrections, output_flux_errs * flux_factor,
             ms=8, marker='s', mfc='r', c='k', lw=3, alpha=0.5, ls='none', label=label, zorder=-10)

plt.legend()
plt.axhline(0, c='k', ls=':')
plt.xlim(0, 5)
plt.ylim(15, 70)
plt.xlabel('Wavelength ($\\mu$m)')
plt.ylabel('Flux (nJy)')
