maximum_info(maxima, n, mapp, nmax=None)

Show a plot with a maximum and some information about it.

Utility function to easily view the basic propierties of a specific maximum.

Parameters

• maxima (pd.DataFrame) – Pandas DataFrame with the information of the maxima. Has to contain at least the columns ‘Pixel number’ and ‘Intensity’. If it contains ‘pvalue’, it will use it. Otherwise, the p-value will be set to np.nan.

• n (int) – Row of the maxima with the information of the maximum to be shown.

• mapp (np.ndarray) – Healpix map to be shown in the image.

• nmax (int or None, optional) – Total number of maxima detected in the map. If None is introduced, it uses the length of the maxima table. Since this can affect the results (if maxima does not contain all the maxima), the lines affected are colored grey and the function raises a warning.

Returns

Figure containing the information about the maximum.

Return type

matplotlib.figure.Figure
