class sdss_catl_utils.models.catl_models.SDSSConformity

Bases: sdss_catl_utils.models.catl_models.CatlUtils, sdss_catl_utils.models.catl_models.DownloadManager

Class used to handle the galaxy/group catalogues for the Calderon et al. (2018) analysis. This class has functions to read, modify, and analyze the galaxy/group catalogues for this analysis.

Examples

This class serves as the gateway for downloading and handling the catalogues used in the Calderon et al. (2018) analysis.

One can easily initialize SDSSConformity:

>>> from sdss_catl_utils.models.catl_models import SDSSConformity
>>> catl_obj = SDSSConformity()

One can also get the parameters used in the Conformity analysis:

>>> catl_obj.param_dict # doctest: +SKIP

The catalogues used for the analysis can be easily downloaded via the catl_download method. If one wants to download the data catalogues, i.e. both memb and group catalogues, one can do it by:

>>> catl_obj.catl_download(download_type='data') # doctest: +SKIP

And if one wants to print out the paths of the URLs and output directories, one can do that by setting print_outdir = True:

>>> catl_obj.catl_download(download_type='data', print_outdir = True) # doctest: +SKIP

Additionally, one could also extract the paths to the catalogues. For example, to recover the path to the data group catalogue, you could do that by:

>>> catl_obj.catl_arr_extract(catl_kind='data', catl_type='group') # doctest: +SKIP

This would return an array with the path(s) of the catalogues in question.
