File naming overview for files in albedo_spectra

Planet-star separation: 0.8 AU, 2 AU, 5 AU, 10 AU

Types of planets (See Table 1 in Cahoy et al. 2010): 
- Jupiter-mass planets with 1x and 3x solar abundance of heavy elements
- Neptune-mass planets with 10x and 30x solar abundance of heavy elements

Orbital phase angles: between 0 (full phase) and 180 (new) degrees in 10 degree increments.

Each file is named accordingly:

Planet_Metallicty_Distance_PhaseAngle.dat

e.g.

Jupiter_1x_0.8AU_10deg.dat

Each file contains two columns:

column 1 ->  wavelength in microns
column 2 ->  albedo as a function of wavelength

Wavelength range in data files is 0.35 to 1 microns

A zero degree phase angle albedo = geometric albedo, 
else albedo=spherical albedo

This directory also includes a reference solar spectrum that was used in the Cahoy et al. (2010) 
study (see Figure 14).   The file SOLARSPECTRUM.DAT has two columns:

column 1 ->  wavelength in angstroms
column 2 ->  solar spectrum in cgs/angstroms
