MyFilter

MyFilter is a web app that provides interactive visualization of astronomical filters' transmission curves.

Demo

A live demo of the app can be viewed here:

https://preview.lmytime.com/myfilter

JWST NIRCam customized version:

https://preview.lmytime.com/myfilter?cus=JWST

Features

• Interactive transmission curves for common astronomical filters
• Overlay multiple filters for comparison
• Zoom in on specific wavelength ranges
• Check emission or absoption lines for any redshift

Usage

The app is simple to use. Just select the filters you want to visualize from the sidebar. Hover over the graph for more details and use the mouse to zoom in on areas of interest.

Multiple filters can be overlaid to compare bandpasses.

Deployment

We provide a way to deploy using docker on your own.

First pull the docker image:

docker pull lmytime/myfilter

Then run the docker image as container:

docker run -it --rm -p 9899:9899 lmytime/myfilter

Finally, you can open the software on:

• http://127.0.0.1:9899

Development

The app is built based on:

• Vue.js
• dygraphs for data visualization
• ElementPlus for styling
• Flask
• The filter data is from the SVO website.
• Some data are from users:
  • JWST_xxx: xxx represents MIRI, NIRISS, NIRCam, and NIRSpec. These data are from JWST ETC v2.0.
  • DECam-Merian: Filters designed in Merian Survey.
  • MOIRCS: Subaru MOIRCS
