mosthosts's Introduction

Rob Knop's MostHosts stuff

Python modules, scripts, and notebooks mosthosts

Libraries in the lib subdirectory:

mosthosts_desi.py — for figuring out which Most Hosts objects have DESI targets and observations
desi_specfinder.py — for loading a DESI spectrum at user-specified RA/Dec; uses the DESI-standard desisepc library
mosthosts_skyportal.py — link to the DESI SkyPortal [CURRENTLY BROKEN]

`mosthosts_desi.py` : Reading mosthosts and matching to DESI targets and observations

This library mosthosts_desi.py has a class that reads the mosthosts table into a Pandas dataframe, and then adds information for all of the hosts from the zbest_daily and public_fibermap DESI tables. Look at that file for documentation, or do:

    from mostshost_desi import MostHostsDesi
    help(MostHostsDesi)

The jupyter notebook specmatch.ipynb is an example of using this library.

`desi_specfinder.py` : Finding spectra at a given RA/Dec

For help, do:

    from desi_specfinder import SpectrumFinder
    help(SpectrumFinder)

Examples of use are in the jupyter noteboos desi_spec_at_radec.ipynb and desi_pullspec.ipynb.

Other Things here

Some of this is random maintenance stuff I use:

scripts/spectrum_uploader.py — I use this to upload spectra to the DESI SkyPortal. I haven't actually run this repository's file in a long time, so I'm not sure it works; Autmun Awbrey has been doing the SkyPortal spectrum uploading in recent months.
mosthosts_source_info.py — A hack script used to diagnose SkyPortal name mismatches (which still needs to be completed!)
*.csv — cached files written when I make a MostHostsDesi object (from mosthosts_desi.py). These CSV files may be useful as a cache of information about MostHosts, but of course they're not necessarily going to be up to date.
