Smooth a Spectrum1D instance based on a astropy.convolution.Gaussian1DKernel.

Parameters

spectrumSpectrum1D

The spectrum object to which the smoothing will be applied.

stddevnumber

The stddev of the kernel, in pixels, as defined in astropy.convolution.Gaussian1DKernel

Returns

spectrumSpectrum1D

Output Spectrum1D which is copy of the one passed in with the updated flux.

Raises

ValueError

In the case that stddev is not the correct type or value.
