get_star_properties#

excalibuhr.utils.get_star_properties(obj_name: str)[source]#

Look up the teff, vsini, and rv of a star by name

Parameters:

obj_name (str) – the name of the standard star, e.g. ‘10 Lep’

Returns:

  • teff (float) – the effective temperature of the star in Kelvin

  • vsini (float) – the projected rotational velocity of the star in km/s

  • rv (float) – systemic and barycentric velocity correction for the standard star in km/s
