modspectra.ellipse_equation(bd, el_constant1, el_constant2, bd_max, x_coord, y_coord)

Equation for an ellipse in the form from Burton & Liszt (1978) Function serves to be used in scipy.optimize.brenth to solve for bd

Parameters:

bd: ‘number’

semi-minor axis of ellipse

el_constant1: ‘number’

First parameter for defining ellipse

el_constant2: ‘number’

second parameter for defining ellipse

bd_max: ‘number’

Maximum semi-minor axis allowed within defined elliptical disk

x_coord: ‘number, ndarray’

x-coordinate in ellipse

y_coord: ‘number, ndarray’

y-coordinate in ellipse
