constant_sb_stars_per_pix¶

artpop.stars.constant_sb_stars_per_pix(sb, mean_mag, distance=<Quantity 10. pc>, pixel_scale=0.2)[source]¶

Calculate the number of stars per pixel for a uniform distribution (i.e., constant surface brightness) of stars.

Parameters

sbfloat: Surface brightness of stellar population.
mean_magfloat: Mean stellar magnitude of the stellar population.
distancefloat or Quantity: Distance to source. If float is given, the units are assumed to be Mpc.
pixel_scalefloat or Quantity, optional: The pixel scale of the mock image. If a float is given, the units will be assumed to be arcsec per pixels.
