• Start a IPython notebook to keep record, but eventually have a Python code ready to generate large number of test

Examples:

1: Elliptical galaxy: 3 Sersic components overlap with each other
* Using one elliptical galaxy from CGS as example

2: Edge-on disk galaxy with outer halo: Bulge+Edge-disk+"Halo" component
* Using NGC3115 as example

Step 1

• Simple Moffat PSF
• First, create GalSim models with PSF convolution and noise in single band
• Then save the image and PSF into fits file, see if Galfit or Imfit can successfully recover the parameters

Step 2

• Learn how to generate multi-band images using GalSim

Using both sep and photutils background model.

This comes in handy when you just want to separate images into small pieces.

• Add an option: pixel_unit.
• Also, add an option for an output directory

• Add radec_extinction function based on mwdust

• Move a few function to io.py as it involves input/output files

• parse_reg_ellipse()
• psf_extract()

• Includes the IRAF executable files in the repo (for both MacOS and Linux)
• Clean the sbp.py code

Add Scientific Colour-Maps based on:
- http://www.fabiocrameri.ch/colourmaps.php

TODO:

• Sequential ones: devon, oslo, lajolla, bilbao, lapaz, bamako, imola
• Diverging ones: vik, berlin
• Special: roma, batlow

• Should write class and methods about 1-D profiles
• Naming of the functions should change
• Should remove the dependence on Pyraf
• Many functions should be outside the sbp.py
• Should rename it to something like profile_1d.py

In the process of installing kungpao, I noticed that Erin Sheldon's smatch and cosmology packages also appear to be dependencies. It's probably worth listing these in the readme along with the other dependencies.

There are some issues with the print() function still need to be fixed.

Mostly in imtools.py

• gaia_star_mask()
• iraf_star_mask()
• get_noise_maps(); rename to something else
• mask_high_sb_pixels()
• replace_with_noise(); rename to something else
• detect_lsb_objects(); rename to something else
• detect_bright_objects(); rename to something else
