Hello all,
I am part of a project trying to generate solar phase curves of some
of the smaller moons of Saturn based on images from the Cassini
probe. To do this, we need to be able to get the photometric
magnitude of the moons in question; however, most IDL routines (such
as those found at the Astronomy User's LIbrary) (and most astronomy
software, for that matter) are geared towards point-source (stellar)
photometry, not non-point-source (planetary) photometry.
So, I was wondering if there are any IDL routines out there
specifically for planetary photometry? Or alternatively, run-of-the-
mill photometry routines that could easily be modified for planetary
photometry? I know the Buie library is supposed to have some, but I
had trouble figuring out which of his routines would actually be
appropriate for my situation.
Thanks!
