pro airtovac,wave ;+ ; NAME: ; AIRTOVAC ; PURPOSE: ; Convert air wavelengths to vacuum wavelengths ; EXPLANATION: ; Wavelengths are corrected for the index of refraction of air under ; standard conditions. Wavelength values below 2000 A will not be ; altered. Uses the IAU standard for conversion given in Morton ; (1991 Ap.J. Suppl. 77, 119) ; ; CALLING SEQUENCE: ; AIRTOVAC, WAVE ; ; INPUT/OUTPUT: ; WAVE - Wavelength in Angstroms, scalar or vector ; WAVE should be input as air wavelength(s), it will be ; returned as vacuum wavelength(s). WAVE is always converted to ; double precision upon return. ; ; EXAMPLE: ; If the air wavelength is W = 6056.125 (a Krypton line), then ; AIRTOVAC, W yields an vacuum wavelength of W = 6057.8019 ; ; METHOD: ; See Morton (Ap. J. Suppl. 77, 119) for the formula used ; ; REVISION HISTORY ; Written W. Landsman November 1991 ; Converted to IDL V5.0 W.
