FUNCTION CONS_RA,RA,Y,ASTR, DELTA ;Find line of constant RA ;+ ; NAME: ; CONS_RA ; PURPOSE: ; Obtain the X and Y coordinates of a line of constant right ascension ; EXPLANATION: ; Return a set of X pixel values given an image with astrometry, ; and either ; (1) a set of Y pixel values, and a scalar right ascension, or ; (2) a set of right ascension values, and a scalar Y value. ; ; In usage (1), CONS_RA can be used to determine the (X,Y) values ; of a line of constant right ascension. In usage (2), CONS_RA can ; used to determine the X positions of specified RA values, along a ; line of constant Y. ; ; CALLING SEQUENCE: ; X = CONS_RA( RA, Y, ASTR, [ DEC] ) ; ; INPUTS: ; RA - Right Ascension value in DEGREES (0 < RA < 360.). If Y is a ; vector, then RA must be a scalar ; Y - Specified Y pixel value(s) for line of constant right ascension ; If RA is a vector, then Y must be a scalar ; ASTR - Astrometry structure as extracted from a FITS header by the ; procedure EXTAST ; OUTPUTS ; X - Computed set of X pixel values. The number of elements of X ; is the maximum of the number of elements of RA and Y. ; OPTIONAL OUTPUT: ; DEC - Computed set of declinations (in DEGREES) for X,Y, coordinates ; NOTES: ; The algorithm (and notation) is based on AIPS Memo 27 by Eric Greisen, ; with modifications for a coordinate description (CD) matrix as ; described in Paper II of Greisen & Calabretta (2000, A&A, in press). ; These documents are available from ; http://fits.cv.nrao.edu/documents/wcs/wcs.html ; ; RESTRICTIONS: ; Implemented only for the TANgent and SIN projections ; ; REVISION HISTORY: ; Written, Wayne Landsman STX Co. April, 1988 ; Algorithm adapted from AIPS memo No. 27 by Eric Griessen ; New astrometry structure ; Converted to IDL V5.0 W. Landsman September 1997 ; Added SIN projection W. Landsman January 2000 ; Fix possible sign error introduced Jan. 2000 W.
