Currently the Photometry class contains only simple primitives, with different types of flux/brightness measures enumerated. This is something that could be both streamlined and expanded significantly. This issue is a place to record ideas and brainstorm.

  • Streamlining: for example, by using Quantity classes which include errors and units internally
  • Expanding:
    • Using a new, more general 'brightness'/'intensity' class which can readily convert between different flux/magnitude units.
    • Allowing conversion between flux and luminosity using the distance
    • convert from bands to bolometric and visa-versa using more detailed modeling.
