7. Future changes to iris_lmsalpy#

Changes to iris_lmsalpy are planned for the future. These are:

  • extract_irisL2data

    • Radiative flux calibration from DN to:

      • CGS_LAMBDA: erg cm^-2 s^-1 sr^-1 Å^-1

      • SI_LAMBDA: W m^-2 sr^-1 nm^-1

      • CGS_NU: erg cm^-2 s^-1 sr^-1 Hz^-1

      • SI_NU: W m^-2 sr^-1 Hz^-1

      • PHOTONS: photon s^-1

  • raster.quick_look()

    • Identification of spectral lines, including filtering of lines, e.g: “Mg II, Fe”

    • Helioprojective X-Y coordinates

    • Temporal information of each acquisition

    • Getting the data-only from the label of a spectral range

    • Getting the header-only from the label of a spectral range

    • New function returns all the wavelengths observed in a data set.

  • A collection of colormaps exported from IDL and NCAR Command Language (NCL)

  • Fit of Gaussians to the IRIS lines.

  • Recovery of non-thermal velocities for the optical thin lines observed by IRIS (M. Woods)

  • A new Python package to invert the IRIS Level 2 raster data: \(IRIS^2+\)

    • A paper will be released on this.
