Parameters
central_obscuration_ratioscalar

The ratio of the central obscuration diameter and the pupil diameter.

chargeinteger

The charge of the vortex coronagraph used.

Returns
scalar

The intensity transmission for a sufficiently off-axis point source for the ring-apodized vortex coronagraph. Point sources close to the vortex singularity will be lower in intensity.
