Astro

result = velframe(coords, galactic=galactic, vlsr=vlsr, vhelio=vhelio, vgsr=vgsr, frame=frame)

Converts radial velocities between Local Standard of Rest, Heliocentric and Galactocentric velocity frames.

Return value

Output radial velocity in desired frame, assuming no proper motion.

Parameters

coords in

2-element vector of coordinates at which transformation is computed. Assumed to be decimal RA and Dec degrees unless /GALACTIC is specified.

Keywords

galactic in

Input coordinates are in galactic coordinates rather than RA and Dec.

vlsr in

Input velocity in LSR frame.

vhelio in

Input velocity in heliocentric frame.

vgsr in

Input velocity in Galactic standard of rest frame.

frame in

Output frame. One of 'LSR', 'HELIO' or 'GSR'.
