SELECT

The program SELECTMOD may be used to extract individual models from Kurucz ``supermodels'' such as the file ap00k2odfnew.dat which can be obtained from Robert Kurucz's website http://kurucz.harvard.edu. SELECT extracts a single model from a supermodel for a given $T_{\rm eff}$ and $\log g$. The model grid in the more recent supermodels has a $T_{\rm eff}$ spacing of 250K (beginning with 3500K) up to 13,000K and a spacing of 1000K after that (up to 50,000K), and a $\log g$ spacing of 0.5, beginning on the high end at 5.0. The program SELECTMOD will extract one of these models and export it to a file with the default SPECTRUM header. The program SELECTMOD9 does the same thing, but preserves the ATLAS9 header. Both can be invoked in the command line mode:

selectmod supermodel.dat output.mod teff logg
