This repository includes code developed by members of the Bates Galaxies Lab (sometimes called "the bagel," which in principle could stand for Bates Astrophysics Galaxy Evolution Lab) at Bates College in Lewiston, Maine. Current lab members (as of the Fall 2016 semester), include Aleks Diamond-Stanic (Assistant Professor of Physics and Astronomy), Sophia Gottlieb (senior physics major, class of 2017), and Joshua Rines (senior physics major, class of 2017).

This code compares centroid values based on three routines from photutils: centroid_com, centroid_1dg, centroid_2dg. The current version of the code plots these centroid values on top of a postage stamp image for the galaxy J0905.

This is a version of the jr_compilation*py code that calculates fluxes, luminosities, colors, mass-to-light ratios, and stellar masses. This is an outdated piece of code that was used to check the mass-to-light ratios and total stellar mass estimate for the galaxy J0905.

This code performs photometry on three images using circular apertures and then plots the spectral energy distribution for each aperture. The current version uses 13 different apertures for the galaxy J0826 and includes an SED for each annulus.

This code makes "postage stamp" visualizations of a galaxy in three different filters, performs aperture photometry on each image, and plots the flux (energy/area/time) in circular apertures centered on the galaxy. The current version is set up to work for the galaxy J0826.

This code analyzes the distribution of pixel values for an entire image and quantifies the mean background flux and its dispersion by fitting a Gaussian function to a binned histogram of pixel values. The current version analyzes the F814W image for the galaxy J0826.

This code reads in images of the same galaxy in three filters and makes "postage stamp" visualizations with the goal of providing a qualitative sense for how the morphology of the galaxy and its luminosity change as a function of wavelength. This code is expanded upon in bgl_aper_phot.py and bgl_pix_vis.py. The current version is set up to work for the galaxy J0826.

The code makes "postage stamp" visualizations of a galaxy in three different filters and then produces color-magntidue diagrams that show the relationship between flux in a given filter and the color measured with respect to an adjacent filter for all pixels in the postage stamps. The current version is set up to work for the galaxy J0905.
