Detailed Description

This class and the handling of solar system data has seen many changes, and unfortunately, not much has been consistently documented.

This StelObjectModule derivative is used to model SolarSystem bodies.

The following is a reverse-engineered analysis.

This includes the Major Planets (class Planet), Minor Planets (class MinorPlanet) and Comets (class Comet).

◆ setApparentMagnitudeAlgorithmOnEarth

void SolarSystem::setApparentMagnitudeAlgorithmOnEarth ( const QString & algorithm )

slot

Set the algorithm for computation of apparent magnitudes for planets in case observer on the Earth.

Possible values:

Mueller1893 Explanatory Supplement to the Astronomical Ephemeris, 1961
AstrAlm1984 [Astronomical Almanac 1984] and later. These give V (instrumental) magnitudes.
ExpSup1992 [Explanatory Supplement to the Astronomical Almanac, 1992] (algorithm contributed by Pere Planesas, Observatorio Astronomico Nacional)
ExpSup2013 [Explanatory Supplement to the Astronomical Almanac, 3rd edition, 2013]
Generic Visual magnitude based on phase angle and albedo. Details:
J. Meeus "Astronomical Algorithms" (2nd ed. 1998, with corrections as of August 10, 2009) p.283-286.
O. Montenbruck, T. Pfleger "Astronomy on the Personal Computer" (4th ed.) p.143-145.
Daniel L. Harris "Photometry and Colorimetry of Planets and Satellites" http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1961plsa.book..272H
Sean E. Urban and P. Kenneth Seidelmann "Explanatory Supplement to the Astronomical Almanac" (3rd edition, 2013) It is interesting to note that Meeus in his discussion of "Harris" states that Harris did not give new values. The book indeed mentions a few values for the inner planets citing Danjon, but different from those then listed by Meeus. Therefore it must be assumed that the "Harris" values are misnomed, and are the least certain set. Hint: Default option in config.ini: astro/apparent_magnitude_algorithm = ExpSup2013
Parameters

algorithm the case in-sensitive algorithm name

Note
: The structure of algorithms is almost identical, just the numbers are different! You should activate Mueller's algorithm to simulate the eye's impression. (Esp. Venus!)
