scopesim_templates.stellar.star_grid(n, mmin, mmax, filter_name='V', separation=1, ra=0, dec=0)¶

Create a square grid of A0V stars at equal magnitude intervals.

Parameters:

nint: the number of stars in the grid
mminfloat: [vega mag] the minimum (brightest) magntude of stars in the grid
mmaxfloat: [vega mag] maximum (faintest) magnitudes for stars in the grid
filter_namestr: any filter that is in the SimCADO package directory. See scopesim.optics.get_filter_set()
separationfloat, optional: [arcsec] an average speration between the stars in the grid can be specified. Default is 1 arcsec
rafloat or str: RA of the center of the field (not used at the moment)
decfloat or str: DEC of the center of the field (not used at the moment)
