ntheta <ntheta> : number of angles for specific intensity (def: 0)
costheta <mu₁> <mu₂> <mu₃> ...<mu_n>: list of cosine angles for intensities
costmin <mu_min> : minimum cosine angles for intensity

[ nmode <nmode> : mode of operation -- Redundant ]

Model Atmosphere Input

read_model <filename>: read model atmosphere in QUB/STERNE2 format
read_sterne <filename> : read model atmosphere in STERNE3 format
read_hydro <filename> : read model atmosphere in read one set of hydrodynamic scalings

Atomic Data

read_lines <filename> : read in linelist
