CHAPTER 11 REDSHIFTS AND VELOCITY DISPERSIONS
SUMMARY OF THE BASIC CCF ROUTINES USED TO GET REDSHIFTS AND
VELOCITY DISPERSIONS
To cross correlate rows in a spectral map with a template
row use:
MA Masks maps and include template (output map has 1 extra
row)
FT Forward transforms
BT Backward transforms
CR Cross correlates maps with their template
CN Normalizes the CCF
CQ Finds the CCF peak (where derivative equals zero)
For velocity dispersions:
SM Divides the object transform by template transform to
give the broadening transform
SP Fits a gaussian to the broadening peak
REAL and COMPLEX files are used as storage registers to contain
your results ie.
OPTION MAP REAL COMP
FT 1 P(S(k)) S(k)
CR 2 P(SxT) S(k)xT(k)
BT 3 S*T S(x)*T(x)
CN 4 S*T normalised
CQ gets the redshifts: MAPIC=3, MAPIR=4
