; NAME:
; AIRTOVAC
; PURPOSE:
; Convert air wavelengths to vacuum wavelengths
; EXPLANATION:
; Wavelengths are corrected for the index of refraction of air under
; standard conditions. Wavelength values below 2000 A will not be
; altered. Uses the IAU standard for conversion given in Morton
; (1991 Ap.J. Suppl. 77, 119)
;
; CALLING SEQUENCE:
; AIRTOVAC, WAVE
;
; INPUT/OUTPUT:
; WAVE - Wavelength in Angstroms, scalar or vector
; WAVE should be input as air wavelength(s), it will be
; returned as vacuum wavelength(s). WAVE is always converted to
; double precision upon return.
;
; EXAMPLE:
; If the air wavelength is W = 6056.125 (a Krypton line), then
; AIRTOVAC, W yields an vacuum wavelength of W = 6057.8019
;
; METHOD:
; See Morton (Ap. J. Suppl. 77, 119) for the formula used
;
; REVISION HISTORY
; Written W. Landsman November 1991
; Converted to IDL V5.0 W. Landsman September 1997
