Description
The Herschel SPIRE FTS Spectral Feature Finder (FF) detects significant spectral features within SPIRE spectra and employs two routines, and external references, to estimate source radial velocity. The first routine is based on the identification of rotational 12CO emission, the second cross-correlates detected features with a line template containing most of the characteristic lines in typical far infrared observations. In this paper, we outline and validate these routines, summarize the results as they pertain to the FF, and comment on how external references were incorporated.
