colors_results_directory#

mag_system#

If use_colors is true, the colors module is turned on, which will calculate bolometric and synthetic magnitudes by interpolating stellar atmosphere model grids and convolving with photometric filter transmission curves. Vega SED for Vega photometric system is used for photometric zero points. Stellar distance is given in cm.

use_colors = .false.
instrument = '/colors/data/filters/Generic/Johnson'
stellar_atm = '/colors/data/stellar_models/Kurucz2003all/'
distance = 3.0857d19
make_csv = .false.
colors_results_directory = 'SED'
mag_system = 'Vega'
vega_sed = '/colors/data/stellar_models/vega_flam.csv'

Extra inlist controls#

One can split a colors inlist into pieces using the following parameters. It works recursively, so the extras can read extras too.

read_extra_colors_inlist(1..5)#

extra_colors_inlist_name(1..5)#

If read_extra_colors_inlist(i) is true, then read &colors from the file extra_colors_inlist_name(i).

read_extra_colors_inlist(:) = .false.
extra_colors_inlist_name(:) = 'undefined'
