Working repository for spectral flux calibrations and tools for optical and near-IR astronomy.
Optical here means ground-based optical and near-infrared, roughly 0.3 to 1.6-microns covered by the LBT MODS and LUCI spectrographs, but it is built to be generally applicable.
Not a lot here yet, but will start growing soon.
Codes for computing atmospheric extinction models, including
- Rayleigh scattering
- Aerosol (Mie) scattering
- Ozone (Huggins & Chappuis bands)
How to estimate telluric absorption from highly variable sources like water vapor and molecular oxygen (O2) based on pre-computed atmospheric model templates.
