Optical barycentric velocity correction omits the redshift cross term · case 02

Optical barycentric velocity correction omits the redshift cross term.

Member previewVariant 2 · 3 implementations · 6 checks per implementation

Case contract

Toy exact optical-velocity correction: positive rational speed constant c, measured m and correction b. Return rational string m+b+m*b/c; inputs avoid the singular denominator in the deliberately wrong relativistic attempt. No barycentric correction is computed here.

Why this case matters

Astronomical coordinate adapters must preserve convention semantics. Primary background: https://docs.astropy.org/en/stable/coordinates/velocities.html
