Title: Stellar Granulation as the Source of High-Frequency Flicker in
       Kepler Light Curves
Authors: Cranmer S. R., Bastien, F. A., Stassun, K. G., Saar, S. H.
===============================================================================

File names:

analyze_fig4.pro:  Example IDL routine that reads in tabular results from
the paper's granulation model and makes a plot similar to panels (a) and (c)
of Figure 4.

cranmer_granule13_kepler.dat:  ASCII tabular data file that is read by
'analyze_fig4.pro'.  Details about the contents of each column are
provided at the end of the file.

Language: Interactive Data Language (IDL).

Code tested under the following compilers/operating systems: Sun Ultra 20,
Linux CentOS release 5.6, running IDL version 7.0 (linux x86_64 m64).

Description of input data: The 'cranmer_granule13_kepler.dat' file
provides ASCII tabular information that is read in by the IDL procedure.

Description of output data:  The IDL procedure creates a plot on the
current default output device (in order to verify the data has been read
in correctly), then ends with the data values still in memory.

System requirements:  Any system that runs a reasonably recent version
of IDL.  No special IDL add-ons or packages are needed.

Calls to external routines:  None.

Additional comments: All files are in simple ASCII format.
