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.

Member Description


enum FluxScale

 Flux scale types

FluxStandard (FluxStandard::FluxScale scale = FluxStandard::PERLEY_TAYLOR_99)

 Default constructor, and destructor

~FluxStandard()


Bool compute (const String& sourceName, const MFrequency& mfreq, Flux <Double>& value, Flux<Double>& error)



 Compute the flux density for a specified source at a specified frequency

static Bool matchStandard(const String& name, FluxStandard::FluxScale& stdEnum, String& stdName)



 Decode a string representation of the standard or catalog name

static String standardName(const FluxStandard::FluxScale& stdEnum)



 Return a standard string description for each scale or catalog
