Subject: Determining radial velocity with IRAF
Dear Frank Valdes,I'm a beginner to IRAF trying to learn reduction spectra and how to obtain radial Â
velocities of stars in open clusters. I made the exercises in  http://iraf.noao.edu/iraf/ftp/iraf/misc/,
but they don't include the determination of radial velocities (the use of fxcor and rvcorrect, for
example).
Â
Do you know about some text (manual, tutorial, cookbook, etc) for me accomplish this task in
a more friendly way than with the help pages of IRAF? Or other software that do the same task?
Â
Thank you,
Roberto Madeira.

Hello Roberto,
That would be a nice guide to have but, unfortunately, I am not aware of any user cookbook on the subject. You might look at the external package GUIAPPS which includes a graphical version of some IRAF tools. The graphical task is called XRV. Its help may be easier. The only only other option is a google search. I tried "IRAF radial velocity tutorial" and found a few possibly useful references though not a beginner's guide.
Yours,
Frank Valdes
