Plotting solar image in Python
In Python provides SunPy package for create solar image. In this package has different files which are solar data of proton/electron fluxes from various solar observatory and solar labs.
Using pip install sunpy command, we can install sunpy package.
Here we plot a sample AIA image. AIA is Atmospheric Imaging Assembly. This is another instrument board of the SDO.
Here we use sunpy.Map() function to create a map from one of the supported data products.
Example code
import sunpy.map import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import sunpy.data.sample my_aia = sunpy.map.Map(sunpy.data.sample.AIA_171_IMAGE) fig = plt.figure() ax = plt.subplot(111, projection=my_aia) my_aia.plot() my_aia.draw_limb() my_aia.draw_grid() my_aia.draw_limb() plt.colorbar() plt.show()
