create_background

jwst.master_background.create_master_bkg.create_background(wavelength, surf_bright)

Create a 1-D spectrum table as a MultiSpecModel.

This is the syntax for accessing the data in the columns:

wavelength = output_model.spec[0].spec_table["wavelength"]
background = output_model.spec[0].spec_table["surf_bright"]

Parameters:

wavelengthndarray

1-D array of wavelengths, in micrometers.

surf_brightndarray

1-D array of background surface brightness values.

Returns:

output_modelMultiSpecModel or None

A data model containing the 1-D background spectrum. This can be written to disk by calling:

output_model.save(filename)
