USAGE

keywpars


PARAMETERS

ra = RA

Right Ascension keyword. (Value in HMS format).

dec = DEC

Declination keyword. (Value in HMS format).

ut = UT

UT of observation keyword. This field is the UT start of the observation. (Value in HMS Format).

utmiddle = UTMIDDLE

UT mid-point of observation keyword. This field is the UT mid-point of the observation. (Value in HMS Format).

exptime = EXPTIME

Exposure time keyword. (Value in Seconds).

epoch = EPOCH

Epoch of coordinates keyword. (Value in Years).

date_obs = DATE-OBS

Date of observation keyword. Format for this field should be dd/mm/yy, delimited by either a '-' or a '/'.

.ce OUTPUT KEYWORDS

hjd = HJD

Heliocentric Julian date keyword. (Value in Days).

mjd_obs = MJD-OBS

Modified Julian Data keyword. The MJD is defined as the julian date of the mid-point of the observation - 2440000.5. (Value in Days).

vobs = VOBS

Observed radial velocity keyword. (Value in Km/sec).

vrel = VREL

Observed radial velocity keyword. (Value in Km/sec).

vhelio = VHELIO

Corrected heliocentric radial velocity keyword. (Value in Km/sec).

vlsr = VLSR

Local Standard of Rest velocity keyword. (Value in Km/sec).

vsun = VSUN

Epoch of solar motion. (Character string with four real valued fields describing the solar velocity (km/sec), the RA of the solar velocity (hours), the declination of the solar velocity (degrees), and the epoch of solar coordinates (years)).


DESCRIPTION

The image header keywords used by the fxcor task can be edited if they differ from the NOAO standard keywords. For example, if the image header keyword giving the exposure time for the image is written out as "EXP-TIME" instead of the standard "OTIME" at a given site, the keyword accessed for that information may be changed based on the value of the exptime parameter.

The vhelio keywords must be added to the image header of the template spectrum and should contain the known radial velocity of the template star. The output keywords may be added to the object image header if the tasks fxcor.imudate parameter is set.


EXAMPLES

1. List the image header keywords.

	rv> lpar keywpars

2. Edit the image header keywords

	rv> keywpars
