rvidlines not fitting velocities

msoey wrote on Jul 25, 2007

Hello,

When I run rvidlines, it identifies the spectral features correctly
from my line list. However, it does not fit the velocities.

It correctly shows the observed and rest velocities, but it shows
a fitted velocity of 0. for each line, and if I hit 'f' to fit the
velocities, it also gives 0. for the fitted velocities.

Has anyone seen this?? Any help appreciated!

Below is an example of the logfile output. I believe the velocity
of 1.44 is the heliocentric velocity for an observed velocity of 0.
The difference should correspond to more like 150 km s-1.

Thanks,
Sally Oey

Hi Sally,

Having been away from this task for quite a while I am also a little confused. Could you send me the spectrum and the database file?

Yours,

This is happening for me, too.

I'm running IRAFNET PC-IRAF Revision 2.13-BETA2 with PyRAF 1.4 on a Mac via scisoft.

Thanks!
