result = mM_dist(mM=mM, dist=dist)

Converts between distance modulus m-M and distance in parsecs.

Return value

If mM is specified, then Result is the distance in parsecs. If DIST is specified, then Result is the distance modulus m-M.

Keywords

mM in: Input distance modulus m-M.
dist in: Input distance in parsecs.

Examples

    Calculate distance of an object with distance modulus m-M=16.8:

    distance = mM_DIST(mM=16.8)

    Calculate the distance modulus of an object at 350pc:

    distmod = mM_DIST(DIST=350.)
