Add TurboSpectrum #243

Open alexji opened 7 years ago

andycasey commented 7 years ago

TurboSpectrum only works (or is only meant to work) with MARCS model atmospheres.

The current pickled set of MARCS model atmospheres need updating because they don't store radiative pressure at each depth point.

I am re-pickling the MARCS models with all the necessary information for each model. I am choosing to pickle only "standard" mixtures with 1.0 Solar masses (for spherical models) and prescribed microturbulence of 2.0 km/s.

So only photospheres matching the expression *_m1.0_t02_st_* will be picked.

See http://marcs.astro.uu.se/ for more details.

This makes sense. I think it is fine to even say we'll only use the Atlas atmospheres with MOOG and only the MARCS models with TurboSpectrum.

Agreed. We could actually just trick Turbospectrum into thinking it is dealing with MARCS atmospheres and parse properly-formatted Castelli/kurucz photospheres, but I would rather not.
