DistRadiation:

Path: SCPro/ProEnvirons

% Computes the radiation disturbance from the central body.
 The optional shadowing function has the form
 [a,p] = ShadowFun(u, n, a, p)
 and serves to elimate shadowed surfaces from further calculation.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Form:
   [f, t, flux] = DistRadiation( r, q, n, a, p, optical, rPlanet, 
                                 qPlanet, shadowFun )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
