SOURCE
[ASTRO\]SOURCE [name [...]] [/DRAW [m] [l] [s] [f]] [/ALTERNATE]
[/SUN] [/FLUX Fmin Fmax]
Compute the coordinates of a Source from the Current catalog. If no
name is specified, all sources of the catalog are selected. Source
coordinates may also be specified in the command line, in the same
format as the catalog file. The /DRAW option is used to draw the source
name on the plot at its current position (Azimuth, Elevation). The
source coordinates (RA, DEC, Azimuth and Elevation at time of
computation) are printed on the screen, as well as the line-of-sight
components of the velocities of the Solar System Barycenter G (relative
to the Observatory) and of the Local Standard of Rest (relative to G).
Both velocities are in km/s, positive if the distance is increasing.
Arguments to /DRAW may be LINE, MARKER, SYMBOL, or FULL, as for command
PLANET:
LINE will draw a line from the previously computed position
(SOURCE or PLANET)
MARKER will draw a marker (GreG style defined by GREG\SET MARKER)
at the computed position
SYMBOL will draw the source name in capitals at the computed position
FULL will combine MARKER and SYMBOL (the name will be offset
one marker size above the computed position).
If several arguments are given they will be used in sequence.
/ALTERNATE will direct the search to the Alternate catalog.
/SUN will also list the sun avoidance limits
/FLUX Fmin Fmax will select only sources with flux densities in the
specified range. Marker sizes will be proportional to the (logarithm of
the) flux.
/PRINT option will suppress the printing of Az and El, and print the
source characteristics as in catalog instead.
