rvsao.bcvcorr

bcvcorr sets the barycentric velocity correction for a given observation of an object in the header of its spectrum. This velocity is then added to the radial velocity found by xcsao or emsao to get a radial velocity relative to the barycenter (center of mass) of the solar system. It is most often used to set the barycentric velocity correction of spectra which do not use the header keywords expected by the correction computation subroutine in xcsao or emsao: SITELONG, SITELAT, and SITEELEV for longitude, latitude, and altitude, respectively, OBS-DATE for observatation date, UT or UTOPEN and EXPOSURE or EXPTIME.
