AXVAL
Type: Adverb (array(2))
Use: To specify the value of the coordinate at the reference pixel on a
specified axis. FITS standard units are mks with degrees and Jy
added. AXVAL is an array to allow greater precision in the
specified value. The axis value is taken to be AXVAL(1) +
AXVAL(2) with both values converted to double precision before
adding. For example, the frequency 1.420405752E6 is too precise
for a single adverb. However, AXVAL = 1.4204E6, 5752. will
convey the desired value correctly. NOTE, if AXVAL(1) = AXVAL(2),
then the axis value is taken to be just AXVAL(1).
Null value: none
