redshift.sh
Updated: Aug02,2020

Compute a mean radial velocity given an input file listing observed wavelength, restframe wavelength, and feature name.

 
% redshift.sh --help 

usage: redshift.sh dat.1 [-v] [-h]
arg1 - input file listing Wave_obs, Wave_rest, Feature_Name
Additional options:
     -v = print verbose comments and run in debug mode
     -h = just show usage message

 
Here is a simple example of a run:
 
% cat dat.1
    4486.194      4340.470       H_gamma
    5024.542      4861.330       H_beta_L

% redshift.sh dat.1

% cat redshift.out

Initial velocity values:
   Wave_obs     Wave_rest      Feautre            Vobs(km/s)
    4486.194      4340.470     H_gamma             10072.0
    5024.542      4861.330     H_beta_L            10072.1
  Mean Velocity =    10072.012     -+       0.041
