Adding a Host Galaxy

Overview

This document describes how to add a host galaxy to the Repo.

Steps

Basics

  1. Add the FRB to the Repository (JSON file)

  2. Measure the galaxy redshift, RA, DEC

  3. Add the Host to the Google sheet [optional]

  4. Download the Google sheet as CSV [optional]

  5. Move/edit the public_hosts.csv file in frb/data/Galaxies

  6. Run frb_build (e.g. frb_build Hosts –frb 20201123)

Literature

You may add photometry, nebular measurements, or derived quantities by adding tables to the frb/data/Galaxies/Literature folder. See that folder for examples.

You must then add each table you generate as a row in the all_refs.csv file (in that same folder).

ppxf

  1. Add spectrum to the specdb [challenging]

    1. Add spectrum to the Galaxy_DB with name JXXXXXXX.XX+XXXXXX.XX_INSTR_A_spec.fits

    2. Add redshift to the z_hand.ascii table

    3. Edit + Run build_specdb.py

  2. Add “cuts” to the Google Sheet (regions of the spectrum to avoid)

  3. Add spectrum folder to Projects and References

  4. Add instrument name to the Google sheet (Spectrum column)

  5. Download the Google sheet as CSV [optional]

  6. Move/edit the public_hosts.csv file in frb/data/Galaxies
