The Angular Distance calculator module
Angular Distance
The Angular Distance tool is used to measure the angle between any
two points on the sky. You simply specify the
Equatorial coordinates of the
desired pair of points, and then obtain the angle between
the two points.
There is also a Batch mode for this module. In batch mode, you
specify an input filename which contains a number of parameters (up to four) on each line:
the initial right ascension (RA), initial declination (Dec), final right ascension and
final declination. By default, each line should contain four numbers signifying
the RA and Dec values for pairs of points. Alternatively, you can
specify a single value for any of these four coordinates in
the calculator panel (the corresponding values in the input file
should be skipped if they are specified in the calculator).
Once you have specified the input filename and an output filename,
simply press the Run button to generate the
output file.
