5.3 Units

  The units  of all FITS header keyword values, with the exception of measurements of angles,  should conform with the recommendations in the IAU Style Manual  [7]. For angular measurements  given as floating point values and specified with reserved keywords, degrees are the recommended units (with the units, if specified, given as 'deg').
