Description

I am attempting to create ck04 stellar model fluxes with the GAIA passbands. I downloaded the Revised GAIA bandpasses from https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/gaia/iow_20180316. Using the online guide, I did the following:

`wlg,g,gbp,grp=np.loadtxt('GaiaDR2_RevisedPassbands.dat',unpack=True,usecols=(0,1,3,5))
f=Filter()
f.name="GAIA_G"
f.central_wavelength=0.6419*u.micron
f.nu=(2.99792458e8/(wlg*1e-9))*u.Hz
f.response=g

convolve_model_dir(model_dir, [f])`

I have given the model_dir where the ck04 models reside along with the models.conf file. The result in the fits file that is written shows 0 flux for every wavelength. I noticed that in filter.py class, the condition on line 129 is never met:

`if nu2 != nu1:`

Hope you can help me solve this issue.

Thanks!

Research direction

Start with filter.py around line 129 and trace how the Filter created from GaiaDR2_RevisedPassbands.dat is passed to convolve_model_dir. Reproduce the zero-flux result using the ck04 model directory and models.conf, then verify that the generated FITS output contains the expected convolved flux rather than zeros.
