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). The catalog is loaded back in and some simple analysis is performed on the full catalog and on an individual galaxy.

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.).

NOTE: The photometry is aperture matched, but no PSF corrections are made. For more accurate color measurements, PSF corrections should be implemented, given the large range of wavelengths (and thus PSF FWHM) spanning a factor of >4.

NOTE: The simulated JADES images have different units (e-/s) than JWST pipeline products (MJy/sr).

NOTE: An exposure map is missing but required to calculate flux uncertainties.

To Do#

  • PSF corrections

  • Check accuracy of photometry against simulated JADES catalog

  • Exposure map required for input to error calculation

  • ABmag units cannot be written to ecsv file (astropy update coming soon)

  • plot with text labels looks horrible (I wish cursor hover would show id number instead)

  • Fix plot secondary axis: mag vs. flux

  • requirements.txt file – but I don’t know what versions are “required”

  • rest of Robel’s comments: https://github.com/spacetelescope/dat_pyinthesky/pull/82#pullrequestreview-355206337

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

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

# 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'] = 80
mpl.rcParams['figure.dpi'] = 80

# Measure background and set detection threshold

bkg = Background2D(data, (50, 50), filter_size=(3, 3), bkg_estimator=bkg_estimator)
threshold = bkg.background + (2. * bkg.background_rms)

# Before detection, smooth image with Gaussian FWHM = 3 pixels
smooth_kernel = make_2dgaussian_kernel(3.0, size=3)
convolved_data = convolve(data, smooth_kernel)

# Detect and deblend
segm_detect = detect_sources(convolved_data, threshold, npixels=5)
