Synopsis

MRadialVelocity is a derived Measure class for radial velocity.
An MRadialVelocity can be generated from a simple value (or an MVRadialVelocity object), which is then interpreted as a RadialVelocity in m/s, and a reference, with an LSRK type as default.
It can also be generated from a Quantity, where the interpretation depends on the dimensionality of the Quantity:

velocity (e.g. AU/a) The different reference types of a RadialVelocity are:

MRadialVelocity::LSRD --- Local Standard of Rest (J2000) -- as the dynamical definition (IAU, [9,12,7] km/s in galactic coordinates)
MRadialVelocity::LSRK -- LSR as a kinematical (radio) definition -- 20.0 km/s in direction ra,dec = [270,+30] deg (B1900.0)
MRadialVelocity::BARY -- Barycentric (J2000)
MRadialVelocity::GEO --- Geocentric
MRadialVelocity::TOPO -- Topocentric
MRadialVelocity::GALACTO -- Galacto centric (with rotation of 220 km/s in direction l,b = [90,0] deg.
MRadialVelocity::LGROUP -- Local group velocity -- 308km/s towards l,b = [105,-7] deg (F. Ghigo)
MRadialVelocity::CMB -- CMB velocity -- 369.5km/s towards l,b = [264.4, 48.4] deg (F. Ghigo)
MRadialVelocity::DEFAULT = LSRK

Conversion between the different types is done with the standard MeasConvert class (MRadialVelocity::Convert in this case).
Some of the conversions are only possible if frame information has been filled in. The following frame information is necessary if a conversion goes to or from the (different) specified types:

Epoch: TOPO, GEO
Position: TOPO
Direction all

Caution: For large radial velocities (of order c) the conversions are not precise, and not completely reversable, due to unknown transverse velocities, and the additive way in which corrections are done. They are correct to first order wrt relativistic effects An MRadialVelocity can be created from an MDoppler by the fromDoppler() member. It can be converted to an MDoppler with the toDoppler(). Comparable methods are available for MFrequency as toRadial() and fromRadial.

Example

Get the Doppler shift for an oberved HI RadialVelocity of 100 km/s

        cout << "Redshift for 100 km/s: " <<
                MDoppler::Convert( MRadialVelocity( Quantity(100., "km/s"),
                                      MRadialVelocity::TOPO).toDoppler(),
                                   MDoppler::Z)() << endl;
