Moffat2D

class astropy.modeling.functional_models.Moffat2D(amplitude=1, x_0=0, y_0=0, gamma=1, alpha=1, **kwargs)

Bases: astropy.modeling.Fittable2DModel

Two dimensional Moffat model.

Parameters

amplitudepython:float

Amplitude of the model.

x_0python:float

x position of the maximum of the Moffat model.

y_0python:float

y position of the maximum of the Moffat model.

gammapython:float

Core width of the Moffat model.

alphapython:float

Power index of the Moffat model.

Other Parameters

fixeda python:dict, optional

A dictionary {parameter_name: boolean} of parameters to not be varied during fitting. True means the parameter is held fixed. Alternatively the fixed property of a parameter may be used.

tiedpython:dict, optional

A dictionary {parameter_name: callable} of parameters which are linked to some other parameter. The dictionary values are callables providing the linking relationship. Alternatively the tied property of a parameter may be used.

boundspython:dict, optional

A dictionary {parameter_name: value} of lower and upper bounds of parameters. Keys are parameter names. Values are a list or a tuple of length 2 giving the desired range for the parameter. Alternatively, the min and max properties of a parameter may be used.

eqconspython:list, optional

A list of functions of length n such that eqcons[j](x0,*args) == 0.0 in a successfully optimized problem.

ineqconspython:list, optional

A list of functions of length n such that ieqcons[j](x0,*args) >= 0.0 is a successfully optimized problem.

Notes

Model formula:

\[f(x, y) = A \left(1 + \frac{\left(x - x_{0}\right)^{2} + \left(y - y_{0}\right)^{2}}{\gamma^{2}}\right)^{- \alpha}\]
