RTURKU

Read ASCII files of Data from the Turku UBVRI Polarimeter.

Function

Read ASCII files of Data from the Turku UBVRI Polarimeter.

Description

RTURKU reads ASCII files of data from the Turku University UBVRI polarimeter. The raw data must first be reduced using the POLRED (for linear polarimetery) or CIRLIN (for simultaneous circular/linear polarimetry) programs. The resulting files are read by RTURKU (one file for the linear case, two for the circular/linear case). The data on a given star is selected from the file by specifying its number, and output as a TSP time series dataset.

Parameters
CIRLIN Logical

TRUE for circular+linear data FALSE for linear only data.

LINFILE Char

The name of the linear data input file.

CIRFILE Char

The name of the circular data input file.

STAR Integer

The Star Number

OUTPUT TSP, 2D

The output dataset to be created.
