The correction to be applied to put JWST radial velocities into the Barycentric reference frame (meters per second). Computed as -1 times the dot product of the total velocity of JWST relative to the barycenter with a unit vector in the direction of RA_REF/DEC_REF. The total JWST velocity is the sum of the JWST velocity relative to Earth and the velocity of Earth relative to the barycenter.
