7.2.5 Computation of Deduced Quantities

After having read the model data FUL and the tables for the equation of state (EOS) and opacity (OPTA_COMMON) (see Sects. 7.2.3, 7.2.4), more quantities can be calculated:

IDL> eosbox, ful, eos=eos , /opa ,ierror=ierror
This operation adds the tags EOS and OPA to the data structure FUL, which contain more quantities like e.g. the temperature (see Sect. 7.3).

Based on the thermodynamic quantities now present in the FUL structure, further quantities can be computed with combox.pro, as for instance in

IDL> cs=combox('cs',ful)
