NAME:
srcast
PURPOSE:
Compute ra,dec for all objects in a source list (see findsrc).
DESCRIPTION:
CATEGORY:
Astrometry
CALLING SEQUENCE:
srcast,file
INPUTS:
file - File(s) to be read and have ra,dec computed. The file names are
expected to end in .src (usually generated by findsrc).
OPTIONAL INPUT PARAMETERS:
KEYWORD INPUT PARAMETERS:
DIR - Directory where .src files are to be found and where .srd files
will be written.
OVERWRITE - Flag, if not set this program will skip any files that already
have the .srd output file. Set this to overwrite and
regenerate those files.
OUTPUTS:
A file is written, the name of the file is the same as the input except
that the final suffix is changed from .src to .srd. The output file
is a FITS format file which is basically a table of numbers. [nobjs,9]
The contents are as follows:
Row Contents
0 Raw x coordinate of object
1 Raw y coordinate of object
2 FWHM of object
3 Raw instrumental magnitude of object
4 Uncertainty on the instrumental magnitude
5 RA of object, J2000
6 Dec of object, J2000
7 signal-to-noise ratio of object
8 Standard magnitude for object.
Rows 0-4 and 7 are carried forward from the .src file with no change.
The new columns are computed from the astrometric solution for this frame.

Written by Marc W. Buie, Lowell Observatory, 1999/03/18
2000/01/19, MWB, changed for new version of rdastfc

2002/09/03, MWB, changed Str_sep call to strsplit
2003/02/21, MWB, added a blank padding character to make sure object name
never abuts the file name in the log file.
