upgrade to higher resolution Bergeron models #32

Closed tedvh closed 10 years ago

tedvh commented 11 years ago

We currently use Table_DA.txt and Table_DB.txt from Pierre Bergeron as our model WD atmospheres. These models are grouped by their 5 log(g) values (7.0, 7.5, 8.0, 8.5, 9.0). Pierre has higher mass resolution models grouped by mass (10 of them). See http://www.astro.umontreal.ca/~bergeron/CoolingModels/ .

Please move to reading these mass files instead of the previous version. This will give us higher resolution in mass. It will raise an additional complication, however. The DA (hydrogen) models are in the first part of each file and the DB (helium) models are in the second part of each filter. At present, for any given run, we need either DA or DB, and not both.
