# YAML syntax for Targets ScopeSim-Targets is built from the groud up to define targets in YAML files. Instantiation from YAML is identical to creating the object in Python directly. This pages lists a few examples of the syntax used to define targets in YAML. ## Stellar Some examples for stellar objects or groups of such. For detailed explanations of the parameters, see [defining positions](defining_positions.md), [defining spectra](defining_spectra.md) and [defining brightness](defining_brightness.md) respectively. ### Single stars ```{literalinclude} example_yamls/stellar/star0.yaml :name: yaml_stellar_star0 :caption: Simple single star offset from field center ``` ```{literalinclude} example_yamls/stellar/star1.yaml :name: yaml_stellar_star1 :caption: Simple single star with alternative position syntax ``` ```{literalinclude} example_yamls/stellar/star2.yaml :name: yaml_stellar_star2 :caption: Simple single star with full coordinates ``` ### Binaries ```{literalinclude} example_yamls/stellar/binary0.yaml :name: yaml_stellar_binary0 :caption: Binary with physical separation and distance ``` ```{literalinclude} example_yamls/stellar/binary1.yaml :name: yaml_stellar_binary1 :caption: Binary with angular separation ``` ```{literalinclude} example_yamls/stellar/binary2.yaml :name: yaml_stellar_binary2 :caption: Binaries with explicit positions can be defined simply as a star field with just two stars ``` ### Star field ```{literalinclude} example_yamls/stellar/star_field0.yaml :name: yaml_stellar_star_field0 :caption: Star field ``` ## Exoplanetary ```{literalinclude} example_yamls/exoplanetary/planets0.yaml :name: yaml_exoplanetary_planets0 :caption: Simply system with two exoplanets ``` ```{literalinclude} example_yamls/exoplanetary/planets1.yaml :name: yaml_exoplanetary_planets1 :caption: P-type system with an exoplanet around a close binary ``` ```{literalinclude} example_yamls/exoplanetary/disk0.yaml :name: yaml_exoplanetary_disk0 :caption: Disk example ``` ## Star Cluster ```{literalinclude} example_yamls/stellar/imf_cluster.yaml :name: yaml_stellar_imf :caption: Simple young cluster based on IMF ``` ## Extragalactic ```{literalinclude} example_yamls/extragalactic/sersic0.yaml :name: yaml_extragalactic_sersic0 :caption: Simplified model of M59 ```
