NAME: rdland PURPOSE: (one line) Read the Landolt Standards data file. DESCRIPTION: This program automates the process of reading the Landolt 1983 Standard file as provided on the CD-ROM from NSSDC. Selected Astronomical Catalogs, Volume 1. Also supported is the table for the 1992 catalog as supplied by Arlo Landolt at Louisiana State University. CATEGORY: File I/O CALLING SEQUENCE: rdland,catalog,id,ra,dec,mags,colors,errs,cerrs INPUTS: catalog - Integer key for the catalog to read in. The only valid inputs are: 83 - for the 1983 catalog. 92 - for the 1992 catalog. OPTIONAL INPUT PARAMETERS: KEYWORD INPUT PARAMETERS: EPOCH - JD of epoch for of-date precession. Default = catalog epoch (1985.0 for 83 catalog or 2000.0 for 92 catalog). FILE - Name of star catalog file to read. Defaults are: For 83 = '/net/frakir/raid/buie/photometry/landolt/landolt.dat' For 92 = '/net/frakir/raid/buie/photometry/landolt/landolt92.dat' Only one of the following is allowed to be set. If none are set, the coordinates will be returned in the equinox of the catalog. B1950 - Coordinates should be referred to equinox of B1950. J2000 - Coordinates should be referred to equinox of J2000. OFDATE - Coordinates should be referred to equinox of date. If selected, EPOCH must be provided. OUTPUTS: id - Name of the stars. ra - Right Ascension in radians. Catalog epoch, unless one of the other choices, via keyword, is specified. dec - Declination in radians. Catalog epoch, unless one of the other choices, via keyword, is specified. mags - Stellar magnitudes, UBVRI colors - Stellar colors, U-B, B-V, V-R, R-I, V-I merrs - Uncertainties on the magnitudes. cerrs - Uncertainties on the colors. nobs - Number of observations nnig - Number of nights of observations COMMON BLOCKS: None. SIDE EFFECTS: RESTRICTIONS: This procedure is hard-coded for these particular files. It is not intended to be a general file reading program. If file is not specified, the filename defaults are: /net/frakir/raid/buie/photometry/landolt/landolt.dat (for 83 catalog) /net/frakir/raid/buie/photometry/landolt/landolt92.dat (for 92 catalog) PROCEDURE: MODIFICATION HISTORY: 93/01/19, Written by Marc W. Buie, Lowell Observatory 93/10/01, Modifications by Doug Loucks, Lowell Observatory. The 1992 Landolt Catalog (Epoch 2000) is now supported. A new parameter allows selection of the the 1983 or the 1992 catalog. 96/11/20, MWB, now returns number of nights and number of observations. 2004/02/09, MWB, changed default path to catalog
