Roadmap of Desired Functionality

These are the big-picture things we want to add before the money runs out!

Radiation Field and Density Fitting

✔️ use lmfit minimization to allow off-grid minimum $\chi^2$

✔️ full support for map-based pixel-by-pixel fitting

• regularization technique to reduce unphysical spatial variation

H2 Excitation Fitting

✔️ add full Roueff et al Table of H2 line parameters

• helpful methods to compute temperature and column density for users with insufficient data for full fitting

✔️ full support for map-based pixel-by-pixel fitting

• allow use of median absolute deviation to mask the map data

• regularization technique to reduce unphysical spatial variation

• add Bayesian fitting via lmfit/emcee

Models

✔️ Add Kosma-Tau models

✔️ Add full set of Wolfire-Kaufman 2020-1 models

✔️ Allow user-added models

• Add functionality to compare models from different ModelSets

Plotting

• H2 plotter

  ✔️ plot maps of $T_{cold}, T_{hot}, N_{cold}, N_{hot}, N_{total}$, and $OPR$

  ✔️ for maps, have mouse-click show pop-up excitation diagram for that pixel

Testing

• We seriously need more test code and an automated test suite

Documentation

• Always can use updating

• More notebook examples

Issues

• See Issue list in github. True bugs have highest priority
