CBSKY4: Reference Manual
Abstract
The CBSKY4 component to the Celestial Background Scene Descriptor (CBSD) provides positions and fluxes for over 10,000 cataloged stars and stars produced by a statistical number density (logN-logS). Wavelength coverage is from 2 to 30 micrometers plus the Johnson BVJHK bands, the COBE/DIRBE 2.4micrometers band, IRAS 12 and 25micrometers, TD1A 1565 A, FAUST 1660 A, and the Apollo 165201" 1400 A band. Spectral energy distributions of all stars are provided through 87 spectral templates. The model provides images over the entire sky and rectangular or gnomonic projection images of narrower fields of view. Output files give statistics in the scene. The user provides the time, look angles, band parameters (predefined band, response function, or an upper and lower limit), and image size requirements. This document is a users guide to the CBSKY4 model.
