Flux density from a thermal disk
Description
The flux density from a disk-shaped blackbody with uniform temperature
observed in a Gaussian beam.
Usage
planetFlux(T = 195, dp = 14.8, thetab = 19.4, f = 32)
Arguments
T
Disk's physical temperature
dp
Planet diameter, arcsec
thetab
Beam FWHM, arcsec
f
Observing frequency, GHz
Details
Geometry is for a uniform-temperature disk, a planet to some
approximation, in a Gaussian beam.
Value
Flux density in janskys
Note
For a physical Mars model, see <http://www.aoc.nrao.edu/~bbutler/work/mars/model/>
