Tutorial: Add additional effects to simulated radial velocities#

By default, radial velocities (RVs) simulated from Phitter’s model binaries have zero center of mass RV. Currently Phitter allows adding a constant offset. More complex offsets to the center of mass (such as motion of the binary in a wider orbit) are planned for the future.
