Bases: object

get_aolp(mpa_degrees: float, coefficients: AOLPCoefficients, skip_uncs: bool = False) → SpectralData[source]

Calculation of the angle of linear polarisation.

Parameters:

  • mpa_degrees (float) – Moon phase angle in degrees.

  • coefficients (AOLPCoefficients) – Coefficients needed in the aolp algorithm

  • skip_uncs (bool) – Flag for skipping the calculation of uncertainties.

Returns:

aolps – List with the angle of polarisation for each given wavelength.

Return type:

SpectralData
