Observing Parameters AOT SWS06

  The user has to give the following input:

Parameters of the source:
a) identification
b) coordinates ( tex2html_wrap_inline3066 , tex2html_wrap_inline3068 ), accurate to 1''
c) epoch and reference for these coordinates
d) heliocentric radial velocity in km s tex2html_wrap_inline2446 . The convention tex2html_wrap_inline3118 is followed
e) number of wavelength ranges (between 1 and 64)

Parameters for each of the up to 64 wavelength regions:
f) begin wavelength, corrected for (d) (in tex2html_wrap_inline2404 m)
g) a central reference wavelength, corrected for (d) (in tex2html_wrap_inline2404 m) (avoid lines)
h) end wavelength, corrected for (d) (in tex2html_wrap_inline2404 m)
i) expected flux density (Jy) at the reference wavelength (in tex2html_wrap_inline2404 m)
j) expected peak flux density (Jy) within the chosen wavelength range (in tex2html_wrap_inline2404 m)
k) required signal-to-noise ratio SNR at reference wavelength.
