NAME:
inst2std
PURPOSE: (one line)
Apply photometric transformation from instrumental to standard mags.
DESCRIPTION:
The formula for applying transformation to a photometric measurement
follows the basic formalism (including signs) from Hardie. A time
dependent term has been added. The formula looks like this:
m0 = m - kX - n(t-t0)X - k"CX + eC + Z
where
m = instrumental magnitude
k = extinction coefficient, mag/airmass
X = airmass
n = coefficient of the 1st order expansion of extinction as a
function of time
t = Time of observation (in hours)
t0 = Reference time for n, time dependent correction is zero at
this time, usually is the middle of the observation set.
k" = second order extinction coefficient
C = Standard system color of the object
e = color term
Z = zero point
m0 = Standard magnitude
