BCKFIL N1 N2 N3 FWHM -- Applies filter that can be used prior to
back-projection in order to compute filtered
back-projection used in Doppler tomography.
The filter applied is ABS(S)*EXP(-(S/W)**2/2) where S is the frequency with
the Nyquist frequency of one cycle/2 pixels as the maximum. W is a user
defined parameter (see below) that suppresses high frequencies and leads
to a blurring of the final image.
The filter is applied to the entire spectrum. You may want to rebin before
using it if you are only interested in a small region of your spectra,
although it is a reasonably fast operation.
Parameters:
N1 -- First spectrum
N2 -- Last spectrum
N3 -- First output slot
FWHM -- FWHM of window to taper off high frequencies. It is
scaled in terms of the Nyquist frequency which is the
highest useful frequency. Thus FWHM >>1 will have little
effect and may be OK if you have good data whereas for
noisy data you may wish to choose a FWHM < 1. You
should probably start with a high value and decrease it
if the result looks very noisy. Even quite noisy data
does not seem to require FWHM < 0.5.
