VELFRAME
Name
VELFRAME
Purpose
Converts radial velocities between Local Standard of Rest, Heliocentric and Galactocentric velocity frames.
Category
Astro
Calling Sequence
Result = VELFRAME(Coords)
Inputs
Coords: 2-element vector of coordinates at which transformation is computed. Assumed
to be decimal RA and Dec degrees unless /GALACTIC is specified.
Keyword Parameters
GALACTIC: Input coordinates are in galactic coordinates rather than RA and Dec.
VLSR: Input velocity in LSR frame.
VHELIO: Input velocity in heliocentric frame.
VGSR: Input velocity in Galactic standard of rest frame.
FRAME: Output frame. One of 'LSR', 'HELIO' or 'GSR'.
Outputs
Output radial velocity in desired frame, assuming no proper motion.
