AiryDisk2D#

class astropy.modeling.functional_models.AiryDisk2D(amplitude=1, x_0=0, y_0=0, radius=1, **kwargs)[source]#

Bases: Fittable2DModel

Two dimensional Airy disk model.

Parameters:

amplitudefloat: Amplitude of the Airy function.
x_0float: x position of the maximum of the Airy function.
y_0float: y position of the maximum of the Airy function.
radiusfloat: The radius of the Airy disk (radius of the first zero).

Other Parameters:

fixeddict, 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.
tieddict, 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.
boundsdict, 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.
eqconslist, optional: A list of functions of length n such that eqcons[j](x0,*args) == 0.0 in a successfully optimized problem.
ineqconslist, optional: A list of functions of length n such that ieqcons[j](x0,*args) >= 0.0 is a successfully optimized problem.

Notes

Model formula:

\[f(r) = A \left[ \frac{2 J_1(\frac{\pi r}{R/R_z})}{\frac{\pi r}{R/R_z}} \right]^2\]

Where \(J_1\) is the first order Bessel function of the first kind, \(r\) is radial distance from the maximum of the Airy function (\(r = \sqrt{(x - x_0)^2 + (y - y_0)^2}\)), \(R\) is the input radius parameter, and \(R_z = 1.2196698912665045\)).

For an optical system, the radius of the first zero represents the limiting angular resolution and is approximately 1.22 * lambda / D, where lambda is the wavelength of the light and D is the diameter of the aperture.

See [1] for more details about the Airy disk.

Names of the parameters that describe models of this type.

The parameters in this tuple are in the same order they should be passed in when initializing a model of a specific type. Some types of models, such as polynomial models, have a different number of parameters depending on some other property of the model, such as the degree.

When defining a custom model class the value of this attribute is automatically set by the Parameter attributes defined in the class body.
