;+ ; NAME: ; ThomsonUBVConst ; PURPOSE: ; Defines apparent solar magnitudes and limb darkening ; constants to be used for the Helios UBV system ; CALLING SEQUENCE: FUNCTION ThomsonUBVConst, C ; INPUTS: ; C scalar; type: integer ; 1,2,3 for U,B,V light, resp. ; OUTPUTS: ; R array[2]; type: float ; R[0]: limb darkening constant ; R[1]: apparent magnitude of the Sun ; INCLUDE: @compile_opt.pro ; On error, return to caller ; RESTRICTIONS: ; 1<=C<=3; if C out of range then C=1 is used ; PROCEDURE: ; > UHOS(LT) is the limb darkening coefficient for Helios photometer ; light from the U/B/V filter (C=1,2,3). From a graph in ; RAUMFAHRTFORSCHUNG by LEINERT et al. LAMBDA=3650,4300,5250 A for U,B,V ; light. From Allen (1985), p. 171, U=0.80,0.77,0.62 by linear ; interpolation. ; > LUM is the luminosity of the solar disk in E14 S10 units: ; LUM = LSUN/LS10 = 10**((10-MSUN)/2.5), with MSUN (from Allen) ; -25.96,-26.09,-26.73 for U,B and V light respectively. ; MODIFICATION HISTORY: ; JUL-1996, Paul Hick (UCSD) ;- APMHOS = [-25.96,-26.09,-26.73] UHOS = [ 0.8 , 0.77, 0.62] I = ((C-1) > 0) < (n_elements(UHOS)-1) RETURN, [UHOS[I],APMHOS[I]] & END
