Abstract


   Deprecated: This routine has been superseded by the Mice routines
   cspice_ilumin, cspice_illumg and cspice_illumf. This routine is
   supported for purposes of backward compatibility only.

   CSPICE_ILLUM_PL02 returns the illumination angles---phase, solar
   incidence, and emission---at a specified point on a target body at a
   particular epoch, optionally corrected for light time and stellar
   aberration. The target body's surface is represented by a triangular
   plate model contained in a type 2 DSK segment.

I/O


   Given:

      handle   the DAS file handle of a DSK file open for read
               access.

               [1,1] = size(handle); int32 = class(handle)

               This kernel must contain a type 2 segment that provides a
               plate model representing the entire surface of the target
               body.

      dladsc   the DLA descriptor of a DSK segment representing
               the surface of a target body.

               [SPICE_DLA_DSCSIZ,1] = size(dladsc); int32 = class(dladsc)

      target   the name of the target body.

               [1,c1] = size(target); char = class(target)

                  or

               [1,1] = size(target); cell = class(target)

               `target' is case-insensitive, and leading and trailing blanks
               in `target' are not significant. Optionally, you may supply
               a string containing the integer ID code for the object.
               For example both 'MOON' and '301' are legitimate strings
               that indicate the moon is the target body.

               This routine assumes that the target body's surface is
               represented using a plate model, and that a DSK file
               containing the plate model has been loaded via cspice_dasopr.

      et       the epoch, represented as seconds past J2000 TDB, at
               which the illumination angles are to be computed.

               [1,1] = size(et); double = class(et)

               When aberration corrections are used, `et' refers to the
               epoch at which radiation is received at the observer.

      abcorr   indicates the aberration corrections to be applied to
               the position and orientation of the target body and the
               position of the Sun to account for one-way light time
               and stellar aberration.

               [1,c2] = size(abcorr); char = class(abcorr)

                  or

               [1,1] = size(abcorr); cell = class(abcorr)

               See the discussion in the -Particulars section for
               recommendations on how to choose aberration corrections.

               `abcorr' may be any of the following:

                  'NONE'     Apply no correction. Use the geometric
                             positions of the Sun and target body
                             relative to the observer; evaluate the
                             target body's orientation at `et'.

               The following values of `abcorr' apply to the
               "reception" case in which photons depart from the
               target's location at the light-time corrected epoch
               et-lt and *arrive* at the observer's location at
               `et':

                  'LT'       Correct for one-way light time (also
                             called "planetary aberration") using a
                             Newtonian formulation. This correction
                             uses the position and orientation of the
                             target at the moment it emitted photons
                             arriving at the observer at `et'. The
                             position of the Sun relative to the
                             target is corrected for the one-way light
                             time from the Sun to the target.

                             The light time correction uses an
                             iterative solution of the light time
                             equation (see -Particulars for details).
                             The solution invoked by the 'LT' option
                             uses one iteration.

                  'LT+S'     Correct for one-way light time and stellar
                             aberration using a Newtonian formulation.
                             This option modifies the positions
                             obtained with the 'LT' option to account
                             for the observer's velocity relative to
                             the solar system barycenter (note the
                             target plays the role of "observer" in the
                             computation of the aberration-corrected
                             target-Sun vector). The result is that the
                             illumination angles are computed using
                             apparent position and orientation of the
                             target as seen by the observer and the
                             apparent position of the Sun as seen by
                             the target.

                  'CN'       Converged Newtonian light time correction.
                             In solving the light time equation, the
                             'CN' correction iterates until the
                             solution converges (three iterations on
                             all supported platforms).

                  'CN+S'     Converged Newtonian light time
                             and stellar aberration corrections.

      obsrvr   the name of the observing body.

               [1,c3] = size(obsrvr); char = class(obsrvr)

                  or

               [1,1] = size(obsrvr); cell = class(obsrvr)

               This is typically a spacecraft, the earth, or a surface point
               on the earth. `obsrvr' is case-insensitive, and leading and
               trailing blanks in `obsrvr' are not significant. Optionally,
               you may supply a string containing the integer ID code for
               the object. For example both 'EARTH' and '399' are
               legitimate strings that indicate the earth is the
               observer.

      spoint   a surface point on the target body, expressed in
               rectangular body-fixed (body equator and prime meridian)
               coordinates.

               [3,1] = size(spoint); double = class(spoint)

               `spoint' need not be visible from the observer's location at
               time `et'.

   the call:

      [phase, solar, emissn] = cspice_illum_pl02( handle, dladsc, target, ...
                                                  et,     abcorr, obsrvr, ...
                                                  spoint                )

   returns:

               For all of the angles below, if `spoint' does not lie on
               one of the *exterior* plates comprising the DSK type 2
               surface representation, the "intercept" style
               "sub-observer point" corresponding to `spoint' is used
               in the illumination angle computations in place of
               `spoint'. The selected point will always be on the
               *outermost* plate intersected by a ray emanating from
               the target body's center and passing through `spoint'.

               See the header of CSPICE_SUBPT_PL02 for details
               concerning the definition of the sub-observer point.

               In all cases, the normal vector is taken from the plate
               on which the sub-point corresponding to `spoint' lies.
               If this sub-point lies on an edge or vertex, a normal
               vector for one of the bordering plates is selected.


      phase    the phase angle at `spoint', as seen from `obsrvr' at
               time `et'.

               [1,1] = size(phase); double = class(phase)

               This is the angle between the spoint-obsrvr vector and the
               spoint-sun vector. Units are radians. The range of `phase'
               is [0, pi].

               See -Particulars below for a detailed discussion of the
               definitions of this angle.

      solar    the solar incidence angle at `spoint', as seen from
               `obsrvr' at time `et'.

               [1,1] = size(solar); double = class(solar)

               This is the angle between the surface normal vector at
               `spoint' and the spoint-sun vector. Units are radians.
               The range of `solar' is [0, pi].

               See -Particulars below for a detailed discussion of the
               definitions of this angle.

      emissn   the emission angle at `spoint', as seen from `obsrvr'
               at time `et'.

               [1,1] = size(emissn); double = class(emissn)

               This is the angle between the surface normal vector at
               `spoint' and the spoint-obsrvr vector. Units are radians.
               The range of `emissn' is is [0, pi].

               See -Particulars below for a detailed discussion of the
               definitions of this angle.

Parameters


   None.

Examples


   Any numerical results shown for this example may differ between
   platforms as the results depend on the SPICE kernels used as input
   and the machine specific arithmetic implementation.

   1) Find the illumination angles at both the sub-observer point and
      sub-solar point on Phobos as seen from Mars for a specified
      sequence of times. Perform each computation twice, using both the
      "intercept" and "ellipsoid near point" options for the sub-observer
      point and sub-solar point computations. Compute the corresponding
      illumination angles using an ellipsoidal surface for comparison.
      (Note that the surface points on the plate model generally will
      not lie on the ellipsoid's surface, so the emission and solar
      incidence angles won't generally be zero at the sub-observer
      and sub-solar points, respectively.)

Particulars


   The term "illumination angles" refers to following set of
   angles:


      solar incidence angle    Angle between the surface normal at the
                               specified surface point and the vector
                               from the surface point to the Sun.

      emission angle           Angle between the surface normal at the
                               specified surface point and the vector
                               from the surface point to the observer.

      phase angle              Angle between the vectors from the
                               surface point to the observing body and
                               from the surface point to the Sun.


   The diagram below illustrates the geometric relationships defining
   these angles. The labels for the solar incidence, emission, and
   phase angles are "s.i.", "e.", and "phase".

    location           to viewing
    (observer)         location


   Note that if the target-observer vector, the target normal vector
   at the surface point, and the target-sun vector are coplanar, then
   phase is the sum of incidence and emission. This is rarely true;
   usually

      phase angle  <  solar incidence angle + emission angle


   All of the above angles can be computed using light time
   corrections, light time and stellar aberration corrections, or
   no aberration corrections. The way aberration corrections
   are used is described below.

   Care must be used in computing light time corrections. The
   guiding principle used here is "describe what appears in
   an image." We ignore differential light time; the light times
   from all points on the target to the observer are presumed to be
   equal.


      Observer-target body vector
      ---------------------------

      Let `et' be the epoch at which an observation or remote
      sensing measurement is made, and let et - lt ("lt" stands
      for "light time") be the epoch at which the photons received
      at `et' were emitted from the body (we use the term "emitted"
      loosely here).

      The correct observer-target vector points from the observer's
      location at `et' to the target body's location at et - lt.
      The target-observer vector points in the opposite direction.

      Since light time corrections are not symmetric, the correct
      target-observer vector CANNOT be found by computing the light
      time corrected position of the observer as seen from the
      target body.


      Target body's orientation
      -------------------------

      Using the definitions of `et' and `lt' above, the target
      body's orientation at et - lt is used. The surface
      normal is dependent on the target body's orientation, so
      the body's orientation model must be evaluated for the correct
      epoch.


      Target body -- Sun vector
      -------------------------

      All surface features on the target body will appear in a
      measurement made at `et' as they were at the target at epoch
      et-lt. In particular, lighting on the target body is dependent
      on the apparent location of the Sun as seen from the target body
      at et-lt. So, a second light time correction is used in finding
      the apparent location of the Sun.


   Stellar aberration corrections, when used, are applied as follows:


      Observer-target body vector
      ---------------------------

      In addition to light time correction, stellar aberration is
      used in computing the apparent target body position as seen
      from the observer's location at time `et'. This apparent
      position defines the observer-target body vector.


      Target body-Sun vector
      ----------------------

      The target body-Sun vector is the apparent position of the Sun,
      corrected for light time and stellar aberration, as seen from
      the target body at time et-lt. Note that the target body's
      position is not affected by the stellar aberration correction
      applied in finding its apparent position as seen by the
      observer.


   Once all of the vectors, as well as the target body's
   orientation, have been computed with the proper aberration
   corrections, the element of time is eliminated from the
   computation. The problem becomes a purely geometric one,
   and is described by the diagram above.

Exceptions


   If any of the listed errors occur, the output arguments are
   left unchanged.

   1)  If `spoint' is the zero vector, the error SPICE(ZEROVECTOR) is
       signaled by a routine in the call tree of this routine.

   2)  If either of the input body names `target' or `obsrvr' cannot be
       mapped to NAIF integer codes, the error SPICE(IDCODENOTFOUND)
       is signaled by a routine in the call tree of this routine.

   3)  If `obsrvr' and `target' map to the same NAIF integer ID codes, the
       error SPICE(BODIESNOTDISTINCT) is signaled by a routine in the call
       tree of this routine.

   4)  If frame definition data enabling the evaluation of the state
       of the target relative to the observer in target body-fixed
       coordinates have not been loaded prior to calling cspice_illum_pl02,
       an error is signaled by a routine in the call tree of this
       routine.

   5)  If the specified aberration correction is not recognized, an
       error is signaled by a routine in the call tree of this
       routine.

   6)  If insufficient ephemeris data have been loaded prior to
       calling cspice_illum_pl02, an error is signaled by a
       routine in the call tree of this routine.

   7)  If a DSK providing a DSK type 2 plate model has not been
       loaded prior to calling cspice_illum_pl02, an error is signaled by a
       routine in the call tree of this routine.

   8)  If the computation method is "near point" and radii of the
       target body have not been loaded into the kernel pool, an
       error is signaled by a routine in the call tree of this
       routine.

   9)  If PCK data supplying a rotation model for the target body
       have not been loaded prior to calling cspice_illum_pl02, an error is
       signaled by a routine in the call tree of this routine.

   10) If the segment associated with the input DLA descriptor does not
       contain data for the designated target, the error
       SPICE(TARGETMISMATCH) is signaled by a routine in the call tree
       of this routine.

   11) If the segment associated with the input DLA descriptor is not
       of data type 2, the error SPICE(WRONGDATATYPE) is signaled by a
       routine in the call tree of this routine.

   12) If the sub-point associated with `spoint' cannot be computed
       because the line segment from a suitably scaled-up `spoint' to
       the target body's center fails to intersect the target surface
       as defined by the plate model, the error SPICE(NOINTERCEPT) is
       signaled by a routine in the call tree of this routine. See the
       routine subpt_pl02 for details.

   13) Use of transmission-style aberration corrections is not
       permitted. If `abcorr' specified such a correction, the
       error SPICE(NOTSUPPORTED) is signaled by a routine in the call
       tree of this routine.

   14) The observer is presumed to be outside the target body; no
       checks are made to verify this.

   15) If any of the input arguments, `handle', `dladsc', `target', `et',
       `abcorr', `obsrvr' or `spoint', is undefined, an error is signaled
       by the Matlab error handling system.

   16) If any of the input arguments, `handle', `dladsc', `target', `et',
       `abcorr', `obsrvr' or `spoint', is not of the expected type, or it
       does not have the expected dimensions and size, an error is
       signaled by the Mice interface.

Files


   Appropriate DSK, SPK, PCK, and frame data must be available to
   the calling program before this routine is called. Typically
   the data are made available by loading kernels; however the
   data may be supplied via subroutine interfaces if applicable.

   The following data are required:

   -  DSK data:  a DSK file containing a plate model representing the
      target body's surface must be loaded. This kernel must contain
      a type 2 segment that contains data for the entire surface of
      the target body.

   -  SPK data: ephemeris data for target, observer, and Sun must be
      loaded. If aberration corrections are used, the states of
      target and observer relative to the solar system barycenter
      must be calculable from the available ephemeris data. Typically
      ephemeris data are made available by loading one or more SPK
      files via cspice_furnsh.

   -  PCK data: triaxial radii for the target body must be loaded
      into the kernel pool if the "Near Point" method is selected.
      Typically these data are made available by loading a text PCK
      file via cspice_furnsh.

   -  Further PCK data: rotation data for the target body must
      be loaded. These may be provided in a text or binary PCK file.
      Either type of file may be loaded via cspice_furnsh.

   -  Frame data: if a frame definition is required to convert
      the observer and target states to the body-fixed frame of
      the target, that definition must be available in the kernel
      pool. Typically the definition is supplied by loading a
      frame kernel via cspice_furnsh.

   In all cases, kernel data are normally loaded once per program
   run, NOT every time this routine is called.

Restrictions


   1)  This routine assumes that the origin of the body-fixed reference
       frame associated with the target body is located in the interior
       of that body.

   2)  This routine does not compute illumination angles for surface
       points on interior plates, for example plates representing
       the interior of a cave or tunnel. See the -I/O section.

   3)  Illumination angles on an irregular target body surface may
       differ greatly from those on a reference ellipsoid for the same
       surface, as illustrated by the example program shown above.
       Users may want to consider using the ellipsoid formulation of
       this algorithm, which is implemented in the Mice routine
       cspice_illum.
