Synth. Obs.: 3D AMRVAC - Reduction

We create synthetic observations for the Magritte model of the 3D AMRVAC snapshot that was created in the this example.

Setup

Import the required functionalty.

[1]:
import magritte.core     as magritte   # Core functionality
import magritte.plot     as plot       # Plotting
import magritte.tools    as tools      # Save fits
import os

from astropy import units              # Unit conversions

Define a working directory (you will have to change this). We assume here that the scripts of the this example have already been executed and go back to that working directory.

[2]:
wdir = "/lhome/thomasc/Magritte-examples/AMRVAC_3D/"

Define file names.

[3]:
model_file = os.path.join(wdir, 'model_AMRVAC_3D_red.hdf5')   # Reduced 3D AMRVAC Magritte model

Load the Magritte model.

[4]:
model = magritte.Model(model_file)

Model the medium

Initialize the model by setting up a spectral discretisation, computing the inverse line widths and initializing the level populations with their LTE values.

model.compute_spectral_discretisation ()
model.compute_inverse_line_widths     ()
model.compute_LTE_level_populations   ()

In this example we will work with the LTE level populations and do not demand statistical equilibrium.

[6]:
# Iterate level populations until statistical equilibrium
# model.compute_level_populations_sparse (True, 20)

Make synthetic observations

Now we can make synthetic observations of the model.

[7]:
fcen = model.lines.lineProducingSpecies[0].linedata.frequency[0]
vpix = 1300   # velocity pixel size [m/s]
dd   = vpix * (model.parameters.nfreqs()-1)/2 / magritte.CC
fmin = fcen - fcen*dd
fmax = fcen + fcen*dd

model.compute_spectral_discretisation (fmin, fmax)#bins the frequency spectrum [fmin, fmax] into model.parameters.nfreqs bins.
# model.compute_spectral_discretisation (fmin, fmax, 31)#bins using the specified amount of frequency bins (31). Can be any integer >=1

model.compute_image_new               (model.parameters.hnrays()-1, 512, 512)#using a resolution of 512x512 for the image.
#Instead of definining a ray index [0, nrays-1], you can also define a ray direction for the imager
#model.compute_image_new              (rx, ry, rz, 512, 512)#in which (rx, ry, rz) is the (normalized) ray direction

Plot observations

Plot the resulting channel maps with the Magritte matplotlib back end.

[8]:
plot.image_mpl(
    model,
    image_nr =  -1,
    zoom     = 1.3,
    npix_x   = 256,
    npix_y   = 256,
    x_unit   = units.au,
    v_unit   = units.km / units.s
)

(The plot is only interactive in a live notebook.)

Save the image cube in a fits file.
