Usage of frames

Return to directory of Todd's CASA extensions

Convert an optical velocity into different optical and radio frames (LSRK, TOPO). Written by Remy Indebetouw. See this GBT page for a description of the various frames.

Usage:

au.frames(velocity=286.7, datestring='2005/11/01/00:00:00', ra='05:35:28.105', dec='-069.16.10.99', equinox='J2000', observatory='ALMA', prec=4)
    Converts an optical velocity into barycentric, LSRK and TOPO frames.
    -Remy Indebetouw
    velocity: in km/s
    datestring:  "YYYY/MM/DD/HH:MM:SS"
    ra: "05:35:28.105"
    dec: "-069.16.10.99"
    equinox: "J2000" 
    observatory: "ALMA"
    prec: precision to display (digits to the right of the decimal point)

Example:

CASA <4>: au.frames(velocity=286.7,datestring='2005/11/01/00:00:00',equinox='J2000',ra='05:35:28.105', dec='-69.16.10.00', observatory='ALMA')
optical Doppler vel  = 286.7000 km/s
optical BARY velocity = 286562.9104m/s
radio LSRK  velocity  = 271125.2389m/s
radio LSRK doppshift  = 271002.7500m/s
radio TOPO  velocity  = 288283.0487m/s
radio TOPO doppshift  = 288144.5741m/s
