MgII mass estimates; and instrumental sigma_line

Pat has provided me 4 files:

  • tab0tab1tab2pjh1perspec.idmpf  ---> (2 columns) has SDSSJ name and MJD-Plate-Fiber (118451 lines), there are more than one SDSSJ name.
  • tab0tab1tab2pjh1perspec.res_canis  ---->  has the instrumental line dispersion for Hbeta, MgII and CIV as well as the complete path address of the fits files (118451 lines)
  • tab0tab1tab2pjh.idmpfs  ---> (up to 10 columns) has SDSSJ and MJD-Plate-Fiber (107194 lines), there are more than one set of MJD-Plate-Fiber for each SDSSJ name sometimes.
  • tab0tab1uniq.basics ---> these are unique objects(1409 lines)

data format:

    #1  2  3    4   5      6    7     8     9   10  11
    #id ra dec zHW zHWerr mjd plate fiber FIRST EBV Mi

    so the sigma_intrinsic[in units km/s] = sqrt(sigma_line**2-(1+z)**2*sigma_instrumental**2)*speed_light/2798

    sigma_line and sigma_instrumental is in Units of Angstrom.
