[Feature Request] Star temperature

MGCJerryMMGCJerry
edited October 2011 in AstroSynthesis General
After punching data into my space scripts for my site, I've realized that AS3 does not give star temperatures based on the star type. So, as a result I'd like to formally request a new feature for AstroSynthesis star generator...

Can a function be added to where the generator will also generate a temperature (in K) for stars based on their spectral type, mass, etc? :)

    It should be pretty possible to do that (or to make a plugin to do that, once I figure out how...).

    This should be a fairly accurate way to convert spectral types (on the left) to temperatures (in K):
