[Observation]

This header deals with loading in spectral data for retrievals or plotting.

Keywords

Only one of these is required. All accept a string path to a file

Variable

Data format

observed_spectrum

ASCII 3/4-column data with format: Wavelength, depth, error, widths

observed_lightcurve

Lightcurve pickle data

iraclis_spectrum

Iraclis output pickle data

taurex_spectrum

TauREX HDF5 output or self See taurexspectrum

Example

An example of loading an ascii data-set:

[Observation]
observed_spectrum = /path/to/data.dat

TauREx Spectrum

The taurex_spectrum has two different modes. The first mode is specifing a filename path of a a TauREx3 HDF5 output. This output must have been run with some form of instrument function (see [Instrument]), for it to be useable as an observation. Another is to set taurex_spectrum = self, this will set the current forward model + instrument function as the observation. This type observation is valid of the fitting procedure making it possible to do self-retrievals.
