class VSPEC.params.TelescopeParameters(aperture: astropy.units.Quantity, mode: str, zodi: float, contrast: float | PSGtable = None, iwa: float | PSGtable = None)#

Bases: BaseParameters

Base class for telescope Parameters.

Parameters:

  • aperture (astropy.units.Quantity) – The aperture size of the telescope.

  • mode (str) – The mode of the telescope. Valid values are ‘single’ or ‘coronagraph’.

  • zodi (float) – The level of the zodiacal background. Acceptable values range from 1.0 (Ecliptic pole/minimum) to 100.0 (Close to ecliptic/Sun).

  • kwargs – Additional parameters specific to the telescope.
