Description

Add a function that returns the uncertainty of the galaxies' apparent magnitude in the given filter bands as described by equation (6) in Rykoff et al. (2015). Note: the normalisation constant k is absorbed in the included in parameter t_eff

Inputs

  • Apparent magnitudes
  • 10 sigma apparent magnitude limits
  • Parameters a and b of the model
  • Uncertainty limit

Outputs

  • Apparent magnitude uncertainty of galaxies

References
