SYNSTAR2

Name

synstar2

Purpose (one Line)

Compute a synthetic (Lorentizian) star image.

Description

This uses the functional form of a Lorentzian point-spread function
as described in Bosh et. al., Icarus, 95, 319-324 (1992).

Calling Sequence

image = synstar(nx,ny,x,y,flux,power,fwhm)

Inputs

nx - X dimension of image.
ny - Y dimension of image.
x - X location(s) of synthetic star(s).
y - Y location(s) of synthetic star(s).
flux - Integrated strength of star(s).
power- Exponent for the r dependence (must be greater than 1)
fwhm - Full Width at Half Maximum of stellar image.

Optional Input Parameters

Keyword Parameters

Outputs

return - nx by ny image containing star.
