ln_get_asteroid_mag

public static double ln_get_asteroid_mag(double JD,
                                         LnEllOrbit orbit,
                                         double H,
                                         double G)

double ln_get_asteroid_mag(double JD, LnEllOrbit orbit, double H, double G) \param JD Julian day. \param orbit Orbital parameters \param H Mean absolute visual magnitude \param G Slope parameter \return The visual magnitude. Calculate the visual magnitude of an asteroid.

ln_get_asteroid_sdiam_km

public static double ln_get_asteroid_sdiam_km(double H,
                                              double A)

double ln_get_asteroid_sdiam_km (double H, double A) \param H Absolute magnitude of asteroid \param A Albedo of asteroid \return Semidiameter in km Calculate the semidiameter of an asteroid in km. Note: Many asteroids have an irregular shape and therefore this function returns an approximate value of the diameter.

ln_get_asteroid_sdiam_arc

public static double ln_get_asteroid_sdiam_arc(double JD,
                                               LnEllOrbit orbit,
                                               double H,
                                               double A)

double ln_get_asteroid_sdiam_arc(double JD, LnEllOrbit orbit, double H, double A) \param JD Julian day \param orbit Orbital parameters \param H Absolute magnitude of asteroid \param A Albedo of asteroid \return Semidiameter in seconds of arc Calculate the semidiameter of an asteroid in arc seconds. Note: Many asteroids have an irregular shape and therefore this function returns an approximate value of the diameter.
