TOOLS FOR VARIABLE STARS
|
The study of the fundamental
parameters of the variables stars require tools. I'm trying to collect
programs for this purpose. You can help me to complete this,

Variable Stars Computer Analysis Programs FTP Site
Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand.
This FTP site contains the source codes for some of the more popular variable
star computer analysis programs. We hope to expand and update this archive with
newer versions of the current "stock", and with the other methods in use. There
is some miscellaneous material in this archive: THE FTP SITE.
This is actually a slow link, please be indulgent. Soon, There is a
mirror here.

Programs from Gaspani
Purpose:
These are some Fortran programs useful in performing spectrum
analysis as well as period searching of the time series coming from
the photometry of the variable stars. The programs are written in F77
standard Fortran, and they can be compiled easily with both
VAX FORTRAN and MSDOS 3.31, a or higher FORTRAN compiler, without changes.
In order to complile under UNIX some slight modifications are needed
in the OPEN() statements.
Author:
Dr Adraino Gaspani (gaspani@astmib.astro.it)

Programs ILOT
This directory contains the source code for the RS-CVN reduction
software which has been adapted to UNIX. They were originally
translated to C for DOS computers by Michael Rhodes who adapted them
from fortran code written by Ed Budding.

Programs GENSYS
GENSYN
Stefan W. Mochnacki
GENeral SYNthesis of Light Curves and Line Profiles
Developed in 1970-71 at the University of Canterbury, N.Z.,
further developed in 1971-1974 at the University of British
Columbia, and in 1981-1986 at the University of Toronto.
This is a simple, fast programme, with accurate geometry
(including irradiation), but without fractional eclipsing of
individual surface elements (unlike the Wilson-Devinney code).
It is particularly well suited for line profile synthesis.
It is being superceded by new codes developed by P. Hendry and
S. Mochnacki.

Programs LIGHT2
These programs can be freely copied and used, however we would like
to keep track of who is using them. If you find the programs useful, need
more information or copies of the manuals, contact Graham Hill at internet
mail address hill@dao.nrc.ca, or call him at (604) 363-0014.
This directory contains the files used to build Graham Hill's light and
reduce programs.

Programs W-D
The Wilson-Devinney files cannot be copied to sites outside
Victoria University. Dr Wilson does not want his files to be
distributed from this site, and so the files in this directory
have been locked only for use by the Astrophysics Group here.

Programs WUMA4
WUMA4 (Slavek Rucinski)
September 1991
This version of the old, primitive program WUMA (that I wrote in
1971(!) in Gainesville, Florida) is meant to be used to generate
line-broadening profiles. The intensity at a given phase is, in
a way, a by-product. The output format is for Lotus 1-2-3 with long
columns (up to 50) containing the broadening functions, each
column for one phase point.
