Stumpff, A\&A Suppl. Ser. 41, pp. 1-8 (1980) \\ All times, dates, and coordinates are of type REAL so that, e.g., the date can also be entered as 1987.787,0,0 or just 1987.767 . However, parameters must not be combined. That is, in the example given, the fraction of the year may contain only the number of elapsed full days, not also UT. The same applies to table input, however all input columns must be present even if they contain only zeros. The minus sign for negative values may occur in any field. \\ a)+ b) Output: will be written to the following keywords: \\ OUTPUTD/D/1/1 barycentric correction to time (days)\\ OUTPUTD/D/2/1 heliocentric correction to time (days)\\ OUTPUTR/R/1/1 barycentric correction to radial velocity (km/s)\\ OUTPUTR/R/2/1 heliocentric correction to radial velocity (km/s)\\ \\ b) Output: the following table columns will be created or updated: \\ :BCT barycentric correction time\\ :HCT heliocentric correction time\\ :EBRV earth's barycentric radial velocity\\ :EHRV earth's heliocentric radial velocity\\ :EDV earth's diurnal velocity (already included in EBRV and EHRV)\\ \\ (Note that the table option is very slow.) \\ For the ultimate accuracy, it will be necessary to precess (command COMPUTE/PRECESS) the coordinates to the date of the observation. \\ In order to correct measured RV's and JD's, the corrections need to be added as they are, i.e. taking into account their signs. \\ Eastern longitudes are positive and western counted negative conforming to IAU recommendations. \\ To enable automatic distinction between tables and images by the command, you should enter the name with the file type (extension), e.g. name.tbl or name.bdf. If no file type is given we default to a table, i.e. we use `name.tbl' . \on\exs Examples: \ex COMPUTE/BARYCORR obslist.tbl 155,28.3 19,49.6 Compute corrections to UT's and RV's of observations obtained on Mauna Kea, Hawaii \xe\ex COMPUTE/BARY 1987,12,24 1,39,10 6,44,35.8 -16,41,56 Compute corrections to UT's and RV's of observations of Sirius obtained at La Silla on Xmas eve 1987 \xe\ex COMPUTE/BARYCORR obsfile.bdf 6,44,35.8 -16,41,56 Compute corrections to UT's and RV's of observations of Sirius obtained at La Silla; date and UT are taken from descriptor O_TIME of `obsfile.bdf'. \xe \sxe
