lcalib option star_name
option
Chooses calibration data to be listed. Option
may be: "bands" to list the bandpasses at each wavelength, "ext" to
list the extinction at each wavelength, "mags", "fnu", or "flam"
to list the magnitude, or flux of
the star (selected by the star_name parameter) at each wavelength, or
"stars" to list the star names available in the calibration directory.
star_name
Selects which star's magnitude list is chosen if the option parameter
is "mags", "fnu", "flam", or "bands". Also if '?' a list of available
stars in the specified calibration directory is given.
extinction
Extinction file. The current standard extinction files:
onedstds$kpnoextinct.dat - KPNO standard extinction onedstds$ctioextinct.dat - CTIO standard extinction.le
cl> page onedstds$README.le
Flux = fnuzero * 10. ** (-0.4 * magnitude)
The flux units are also determined by this parameter. However, the frequency to wavelength interval conversion assumes frequency in hertz. The default value is based on a calibration of Vega at 5556 Angstroms of 3.52e-20 ergs/cm2/s/hz for a magnitude of 0.048. This default value is that used in earlier versions of this task which did not allow the user to change this calibration.
LCALIB provides a means of checking the flux calibration data. The calibration data consists of extinction, bandpasses, and stellar magnitudes.
The extinction is given in an extinction file consisting of lines with wavelength and extinction. The wavelengths must be order in increasing wavelength and the wavelengths must be in Angstroms. There are two standard extinction files currently available, "onedstds$kpnoextinct.dat", and "onedstds$ctioextinct.dat".
The standard star data are in files in a calibration directory specified with the parameter caldir. A standard star file is selected by taking the star name given, by the parameter star_name, removing blanks, +'s and -'s, appending ".dat", and converting to lower case. This file name is appended to the specified calibration directory. A calibration file consists of lines containing a wavelength, a stellar magnitude, and a bandpass full width. The wavelengths are in Angstroms. Comment lines beginning with # may be included in the file. The star names printed by this task are just the first line of each file in the calibration directory with the first character (#) removed. The calibration files may be typed, copied, and printed. Lcalib may also be used to list data from the calibration files.

REVISIONS
LCALIB V2.10
This task has a more compact listing for the "stars" option and allows
paging a list of stars when the star name query is not recognized.
