Detailed Description

FluxStandard: Compute flux densities for standard reference sources.

Intended use:

Public interface

Prerequisite

• Flux module

Etymology

From "flux density" and "standard".

Synopsis

The FluxStandard class provides a means to compute total flux densities for specified non-variable sources on a standard flux density scale, such as that established by Baars or Perley and Taylor.

Example

Motivation

Encapsulate information on standard flux density computation in one class.

To Do

• closer integration into component models.
