Path: SpacecraftEstimation/StellarCatalog
% Generates a random star catalog in star matrix format.
If mVM or sVM are not input it will generate visual magnitudes using
statistics derived from the FK5 catalog. Visual magnitude is rounded to 2
decimal places.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form:
[starMatrix, catalog] = RandSC( n, d, mVM, sVM )
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
Inputs
------
n (1,1) Number of stars
d (1,1) Digits accuracy
mVM (1,1) Mean visual magnitude
sVM (1,1) Standard deviation visual magnitude
-------
Outputs
-------
starMatrix (4,:) Catalog [VisualMagnitude;UnitVector]
catalog (.) Catalog data structure
.vM (1,:) Visual magnitude (rad)
.rA (1,:) Right Ascension (rad)
.dec (1,:) Declination (rad)
