Astro::WaveBand

===============

This module provides transparent conversion of astronomical filter

names to wavelength and frequency and vice versa.  For example it

knows the wavelengths of the J, H and K near-infrared filters or the

filter names of the SCUBA submm camera.

This software is still in alpha release. It's been used in my

applications but there may be some future API tweaks required as more

telescopes/instruments are included.

Requirements

------------

No other modules are required.

Requires Perl 5.10.0 or newer.

Limitations

-----------

Currently the instrument specific knowledge only covers instruments

at the UKIRT and JCMT telescopes. Please send more instrument details.

Building

--------

    perl Build.PL

    ./Build

    ./Build test

    ./Build install

Author

------

This module was written by Tim Jenness  and

Brad Cavanagh of the Joint Astronomy Centre. Some static functions added

by Alasdair Allan  to support his work on the eSTAR

Project. Tim Lister added support for Las Cumbres telescopes.
