How To Install python3-synphot on Debian 12
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install python3-synphot on Debian 12.
What is python3-synphot
python3-synphot is:
Synphot simulates photometric data and spectra, observed or otherwise. It can incorporate external filters, spectra, and data. One can also use a pre-defined standard star (Vega), bandpass, or extinction law. Furthermore, it allows one to:
- Construct complicated composite spectra using different models.
- Simulate observations.
- Compute photometric properties such as count rate, effective wavelength, and effective stimulus.
- Manipulate a spectrum; e.g., applying redshift or normalize it to a given flux value in a given bandpass.
- Sample a spectrum at given wavelengths.
- Plot a quick-view of a spectrum.
- Perform repetitive operations such as simulating the observations of multiple type of sources through multiple bandpasses.
