realT mx::astro::numSpType

(

std::string

spType

)

Parse a main sequence spectral type string into a numeric code.

Expects standard spectral type strings such as "O5V" or "F2.5" or "G8.5V".
The numeric code starts at 0 for "O0V", 10 for "A0V", through 90 for "Y0". The subtypes are added to this value. For instance, "G8.5V" becomes 48.5.

Only works for main sequence types. Any other spectral type, such as MK class I-IV, will return -1.

Parameters

[in]

spType

The spectral type string to parse.
