In NOVAS (and hence SuperNOVAS), the radial velocity in
cat_entry
is implicitly defined relative to the Solar-System Barycenter. However, stellar velocities are often defined vs the Local Standard of Rest (LSR). NOVAS C, and prior SuperNOVAS releases had no way to distinguish the two. To provide better support for LSR velocities, while maintaining backward compatibility to the maximum extent, we could:novas_lsr_to_ssb_vel()
to convert LSR veclocities to SSB-based radial velocities formake_cat_entry()
