Well,

this is a typical errors that you will encounter many times
in your idl career.

The line

all_barytimes[i,*] = im.BARYTIME

tries to assign a variable im.BARYTIME into an array all_barytimes,
specifically into a particular column of the array.

The error specifies that im.BARYTIME does not fit into
all_barytimes[i,*]
(likely because it has a different number of elements and/or
dimensions).


Here's an example showing the problem

IDL> a=fltarr(4,4)
IDL> b=fltarr(5)
IDL> a[1,*]=b
% Array subscript for A must have same size as source expression.
% Execution halted at: $MAIN$

see? can't fit the 5 elements of b into a column of a.



Ciao,
Paolo
