Again, just a single change since the last release, but introducing the functionality to voronoi bin mock observations to meet some minimum number of particles per bin. This allows you to reduce the effects of shot noise on the resulting kinematic measurements. A summary of the significant changes are given below:

| 25/10/23 | Adding functionality to voronoi bin individual pixels until the contain some minimum number of particles. This is important for reducing the effects of shot noise on the measured kinematics, especially in dispersion supported systems. We add a new function voronoi, which performs the tessellation algorithm as used in the Vorbin python package (Cappellari & Copin, 2003). When requested, this will add a new image to the raw_images output list called voronoi_bins, detailing the bin ids assigned to each pixel in the field-of-view of a given observation. |
