correct_flux_excess_factor#

agabpylib.gaia.edrthree.correct_flux_excess_factor(bp_rp, phot_bp_rp_excess_factor)#

Calculate the corrected flux excess factor for the input Gaia EDR3 data.

Parameters:

  • bp_rp (float or float array) – The (BP-RP) colour listed in the Gaia EDR3 archive.

  • phot_bp_rp_excess_factor (float or float array) – The flux excess factor listed in the Gaia EDR3 archive.

Returns:

phot_bp_rp_excess_factor_cor – The corrected value for the flux excess factor, which is zero for “normal” stars.

Return type:

float or float array

Notes

This function is applicable to photometry from both Gaia EDR3 and Gaia DR3.

Examples

>>> phot_bp_rp_excess_factor_corr = correct_flux_excess_factor(bp_rp, phot_bp_rp_flux_excess_factor)
