zodiacal_color_factor

skysim.zodiacal.zodiacal_color_factor(lam, elong)[source]

Calculate the redenning of the solar spectrum.

Interpolate in ecliptic longitude between the color factors calculated with equation (22) of Leinert 1998, as described in Section 8.4.2.

The output is automatically broadcast over its inputs.

Parameters
lamfloat or array

Observed wavelength in nm.

elongfloat or array

Ecliptic elongation angle in degrees, which can be obtained using ecl_elong().

Returns
float or array

The color correction factor(s) to apply to the solar spectrum.
