a_PSD()

template<typename floatT >

constexpr floatT mx::AO::constants::a_PSD ( )

constexpr

The scaling constant for the Kolmorogov optical phase power spectral density.

The optical phase PSD for Kolmogorov turbulence is

\[ \mathcal{P}_\phi(k) = a_{PSD} \left(\frac{1}{r_0^{5/3} k^{11/3}}\right) \]

This constant, given to 50 digits, was caculated using calcConstants with boost::multiprecision::cpp_dec_float_100 (100 digits of precision)

Returns

0.02181... cast to type floatT

Template Parameters

floatT

is the type to cast the value to

a_SF()

template<typename floatT >

constexpr floatT mx::AO::constants::a_SF ( )

constexpr

The scaling constant for the Kolmorogov optical phase structure function.

The optical phase structure function for Kolmogorov turbulence is

\[ \mathcal{D}_\phi(r) = a_{SF} \left(\frac{r}{r_0}\right)^{5/3} \]

This constant, given to 50 digits, was caculated using calcConstants with boost::multiprecision::cpp_dec_float_100 (100 digits of precision)

Returns

6.883877.... cast to type floatT

Template Parameters

floatT

is the type to cast the value to.
