class rubin_sim.maf.maps.StellarDensityMap(startype='allstars', filtername='r', map_dir=None)

Bases: BaseMap

Return the cumulative stellar luminosity function for each slice_point. Units of stars per sq degree. Uses a healpix map of nside=64. Uses the nearest healpix point for other ra,dec values.

Parameters:

startypestr (‘allstars’, ‘wdstars’)

Load the luminosity function for all stars (‘allstars’), which includes main-sequence stars white dwarfs, blue horozontal branch, RR Lyrae, and Cepheids. The ‘wdstars’ option only includes white dwarf stars.

filternamestr
