General information:
I'm an honorary senior lecturer in the Chatterton
Astronomy Department, a research department within the School
of Physics at Sydney University.
I live at Fairy Bower on Cabbage Tree Bay in Manly,
NSW
and for recreation indulge in dancing in a low-friction environment.
Research Interests:
-
Stellar Interferometry, in particular SUSI.
-
Stellar astrophysics
The limb-darkening corrections for uniform-disk angular diameters, as discussed in Davis, Tango & Booth
(MNRAS 318, 387 2000) and Tango & Davis (MNRAS 333 642 2002) are here. It's a
tarball (around 50 MB), use "save link target as" to download a copy. After you uncompress it you will find a
readme file that describes the file formats.
