Description

The accompanying files provide some IDL code and "data behind the figures" for the paper titled "Brown Dwarfs are Violet" (by S. R. Cranmer), which has been submitted to Research Notes of the AAS.

This paper presents a collection of objective (CIE x,y coordinate) and subjective (RGB triple) colors for main-sequence stars and brown dwarfs, as they may be perceived by human eyes without the reddening effects of the Earth's atmosphere.  However, the algorithm described in the paper for computing RGB triples ought to be considered as only a preliminary first step; i.e., it needs to be tested by comparing the results to other more established ways of converting astronomical spectra to perceived colors.
