SCULIB_STANDARD_APPARENT

convert apparent RA,Decs from one date to another

Description:

This routine converts a list of apparent RA,Decs for one date into apparent coordinates at another. To do this it calls SLA_MAPPA and SLA_AMPQK to convert the input coordinates into mean coordinates for a J2000.0 equinox, then SLA_MAPPA and SLA_MAPQKZ to convert the mean coordinates into apparent on the output date.

Invocation

CALL SCULIB_STANDARD_APPARENT (N, RA_APP, DEC_APP, IN_MJD, OUT_MJD, STATUS)

Arguments

N = INTEGER (Given)
number of positions to be converted
RA_APP (N) = DOUBLE PRECISION (Given and returned)
apparent RA (radians)
DEC_APP (N) = DOUBLE PRECISION (Given and returned)
apparent Dec (radians)
IN_MJD = DOUBLE PRECISION (Given)
date of input coordinates (modified Julian day)
OUT_MJD = DOUBLE PRECISION (Given)
date of output coordinates (modified Julian day)
STATUS = INTEGER (Given and returned)
global status
