Optically-Thin Thermal Free-Free Emission (Preliminary)

Note: The procedures described in this subsection are under testing. Comments are welcome for improvement.

(a) From Physical Variables to Emission

Based on Dulk's (1985) approximation models, the relation between the physical variables of emitting region and the emission can be derived. Inputs; electron temperature (K), line-of-site component of magnetic field (G), and volume emission measure (cm$^{-3}$) Outputs; flux density (SFU), circular polarization degree:
IDL> dulk_frfr,te,b_loc,vem,freq,fi,rc $<$CR$>$
If the size of emitting source (by solid angle in unit of sterad) is given additionally, optical depth is also obtained
IDL> dulk_frfr,te,b_loc,vem,freq,fi,rc,omega,tau $<$CR$>$
