radiation_unit_conversion

An easy-to-use Python package for converting between different radiation units

Implementing the STScI units page, since astropy doesn't like to easily convert between radiation units.

Example

Using astropy units:

import numpy as np
import astropy.units as u
import radiation_unit_conversion.units as units

flambda_spectrum = np.linspace(1,10,10) * u.W/u.m**2/u.micron
wavelength = np.linspace(1,5,10) * u.micron
fnu_spectrum = units.flambda2fnu(flambda_spectrum, wavelength, u.Jy)

Without using astropy units:

import numpy as np
import radiation_unit_conversion.units as units

flambda_spectrum = np.linspace(1,10,10) # W/m^2/micron
wavelength = np.linspace(1,5,10) # micron
fnu_spectrum = units.watt_metersquared_micron2jansky(flambda_spectrum, wavelength)
