% Converts apparent visual magnitude to photons/s/micron. Includes corrections for temperature and wavelength. Inputs can be length 1 or n. If more than one input is of length greater than 1 they must have the same length. Type VMToPhotons for a demo. Since version 11. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Form: p = VMToPhotons( vM, t, l ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ Inputs ------ v (1,:) Visual magnitude t (1,:) Temperature (deg-K) l (1,:) Wavelength (nm) ------- Outputs ------- i (:) Photons/s/m^2/micron ------------------------------------------------------------------------ References: Witthoft, C. http://pubpages.unh.edu/~mwidholm/MathPad/ examples/starmag.txt ------------------------------------------------------------------------
