palRvlsrk

Velocity component in a given direction due to the Sun s motion with respect to an adopted kinematic Local Standard of Rest

Description:

This function returns the velocity component in a given direction due to the Sun s motion with respect to an adopted kinematic Local Standard of Rest. The result is +ve when the Sun is receding from the given point on the sky.
