Abstract

FLUXES calculates accurate topocentric positions of the planets and also integrated flux densities of five of them at several wavelengths. These provide calibration information at the effective frequencies and beam-sizes employed by the UKT14 and SCUBA receivers on the JCMT telescope based on Mauna Kea, Hawaii.

A script, FLUXNOW, runs FLUXES for the current time and date. This allows you to obtain planetary positions and flux levels quickly.
