5.6.7 BCS_SYNTHETIC

     

BCS_SYNTHETIC is a simple main program to compute BCS synthetic spectra in flux units. The program will prompt the user for the BCS channel number (1,2,3,4 = Fe XXVI, Fe XXV, Ca XIX, S XV), the electron temperature (MK) and the Doppler temperature (MK). To run the program type:
IDL> .run bcs_synthetic
  The program calls the procedure BCS_SPEC to perform the spectral calculations. It defaults to a wavelength coverage which is appropriate for mid-latitude observations. The BCS_SPEC defaults for atomic code, ionization balance and abundance will be used. The computation is made for an emission measure of EM = 10 cm.
