Handle the Sun Spectrum.
Observed solar spectrum comes from: ftp://ftp.stsci.edu/cdbs/current_calspec/sun_reference_stis_001.fits
and theoretical spectrum comes from: ftp://ftp.stsci.edu/cdbs/grid/k93models/standards/sun_kurucz93.fits
The theoretical spectrum is scaled to match the observed spectrum from 1.5 - 2.5 microns, and then it is used where the observed spectrum ends. The theoretical model of the Sun from Kurucz'93 atlas using the following parameters when the Sun is at 1 au.
