create_spectral_wcs

jwst.extract_1d.spec_wcs.create_spectral_wcs(ra, dec, wavelength)[source]

Assign a WCS for sky coordinates and a table of wavelengths.

Parameters:
rafloat

The right ascension (in degrees) at the nominal location of the entrance aperture (slit).

decfloat

The declination (in degrees) at the nominal location of the entrance aperture.

wavelengthndarray

The wavelength in microns at each pixel of the extracted spectrum.

Returns:
wcsWCS

This takes a float or sequence of float and returns a tuple of the right ascension, declination, and wavelength (or sequence of wavelengths) at the pixel(s) specified by the input argument.
