NOPLOT=noplot,FILTNAME=filtname,FILE=file

Inputs

stand - String array of standard names. (See coord.)
fil - String array of filter names for observations.
jd - Double precision array of the JD of observations.
time - Floating point array of the UT time of observations.
am - Floating point array of the airmass of observations.
serial - Serial number of observation.
inst - Instrumental magnitude
instsig - Uncertainty of the instrumental magnitude
doobj - Name of object to reduce.
doser - Serial number of object to reduce.
The following have one extra dimension relative to LTCRV2 arguments.
The first dimension is for the first color, the second is for the other.
dofil - Name of filter to reduce.
tran - Transformation coefficients (2-d vector)
tran(0,i) = principal extinction coefficient
tran(1,i) = second order extinction coefficient
tran(2,i) = color term
tran(3,i) = zero-point
tran(4,i) = time-dependent extinction term
tran[5,i] = (f) airmass squared term
tran[6,i] = (g) color squared term
transig - Uncertainty on the transformation coefficients (2-d vector).
jdref - Time reference point for extinction
refcolor - Color reference for the color term transformation.
This term is normally C * (B-V) or some other standard
color. This formulation uses
C * ( (B-V) - REFCOLOR ) for the term instead.
refam - Air mass reference for the transformation.
color - Starting guess for color of object (default=refcolor)
colorsig - Starting value for uncertainty of color (default=0.)

Optional Input Parameters

Keyword Input Parameters

BADFLAGS - Array of flags that mark data bad (if true).
DB - Flag, if set, tells ltcrv2 to use data base.
DVERBOSE- Flag, passed to gettran and other routine to print db queries.
EPSILON - Convergence criterion for color, default=0.001 mag
FILE - If supplied, the reduced lightcurve will be saved to these files.
FILTNAME - String name for selected filter, default for 2=V and 3=R.
NOEDIT - Flag, if set inhibits final interactive editing of fitted points.
This keyword has no effect and is not necessary if the current
plotting device is 'PS'.
NOPLOT - Flag, if set, suppresses a plot of the final lightcurve.
NOSAVE - Flag, if true, will inhibit modification of files or databases.
PLOTWIN - Plot window to use for output plots (default = current window)
REFID - String uniquely identifying observing run. This is used in
updating the data table in the phot database. It must be
specified if DB is used.
TABLE - Name of table in MYSQL database to save reduced observations.
Passed transparently to ltcrv2, which supplies the default.

Outputs

color - Standard system color for object.
colorsig - Uncertainty on the standard color

Keyword Output Parameters

BADFLAGS - Array of flags that mark data bad (if true).
JDOBS - Array of jd for observations that were reduced.
NOBS - Number of obs that were used. This is the sum of
reduced obs in each filter, but will be zero if the count
is zero in either filter.

Procedure

Modification History

Written 96/10/17, Marc W. Buie, Lowell Observatory
96/01/24, MWB, added BADFLAGS
97/02/11, MWB, modified to support new LTCRV2 program (k(t))
2006/10/16, PLC, modified to pass keywords INSTRUMENT, DB and NOSAVE
to ltcrv2.
2006/12/07, PLC, replace instrument keyword by REFID and
change calls to dbphot- add keyword TABLE.
2006/12/10, PLC, forgot a call or two to ltcrv2.
2006/12/14, MWB, added PLOTWIN keyword.
2006/12/27, PLC, added DVERBOSE keyword.
2007/02/05, PLC, added NOBS and JDOBS output keywords- rationalize
handling of bad flags and data base scrubbing.
2014/03/06, MWB, added refcolor and refam (this changes the calling sequence)
added support for extra transformation terms
