REDSHIFT -- Package to obtain redshifts and velocity dispersions The local package REDSHIFT defined in this directory was developed by Gerard Kriss at Johns Hopkins University to obtain redshifts and velocity dispersions using either the Fourier quotient technique or cross correlation methods. It consists of two tasks: "fquot" and "xcor". To install this package in your local IRAF system, take the following steps: 1) Create a directory "redshift" in your local$tasks directory and load this software into it. 2) Add to local$tasks/local.cl the package definition: task $redshift = local$tasks/redshift/redshift.cl 3) Place fquot.hlp and xcor.hlp in local$tasks/doc 4) Add to local$tasks/local.hd : fquot hlp=doc$fquot.hlp, src=fquot.x xcor hlp=doc$xcor.hlp, src=xcor.x 5) Add to local$tasks/local.men: redshift - Package for determining redshifts and dispersions 6) Execute softools.mkhelpdb to recompile the help database 7) Add @redshift to the update section of local$tasks/mkpkg 8) Do a mkpkg update in local$tasks to compile and link the new package. ***************************************************************************** Alternatively, an individual user may partially support the redshift package in his/her own file space. 1) Create a "redshift" directory in your own file space. 2) Do a "mkpkg personal" in that directory to compile and link the package. 3) Add the following lines to your login.cl file in the default USER package section: task xcor = "/x_xcor.e" task fquot = "/x_fquot.e" These tasks will now be part of your default user package whenever you start up IRAF. 4) To access the help files, simply type help /xcor.hlp file+ OR help /fquot.hlp file+
