Astro::WaveBand

Astro::WaveBand is a versatile Perl module that provides seamless functionality to work with wavebands, wavelengths, and filters. The usage of this software is easy and intuitive, as demonstrated in the SYNOPSIS, which shows various ways to create a new Astro::WaveBand object.

One of the primary features of Astro::WaveBand is the ability to automatically determine the natural form of the numbers stored by the software. For example, if the object contains the number 2.2 microns, the software would return the corresponding filter name if it matches a standard filter. However, if it does not match any standard filters, the software would return the wavelength instead. If there is still ambiguity, the user can specify the appropriate form for the numbers to be displayed.

Astro::WaveBand is an efficient way of managing a single number in a database table while still utilizing logic to choose the most understandable form for observers. This software is a convenient tool for users in the field of astronomy or other applications that require working with the electromagnetic spectrum.
