SCULIB_APPARENT_2_MP

Calculate mean place from a given apparent RA,Dec

Description:

This routine takes the apparent RA,Dec as input and converts them to the position in a specified output coordinate system. Allowed OUTPUT_COORDS are AZ, RJ, RB, GA, EQ. This is the reverse of SCULIB_CALC_APPARENT

Invocation

CALL SCULIB_APPARENT_2_MP(RA_APP, DEC_APP, OUT_COORDS, LST, MJD, LAT_OBS, LONG, LAT, STATUS )

Arguments

RA_APP = DOUBLE PRECISION (Given)
Apparent RA of point at date (radians)
DEC_APP = DOUBLE PRECISION (Given)
Apparent Dec
OUT_COORDS = CHARACTER () (Given)
LST = DOUBLE PRECISION (Given)
LST for requested coordinates (for AZ and HA)
MJD = DOUBLE PRECISION (Given)
Modified Julian date of observation
LAT_OBS = DOUBLE PRECISION (Given)
Latitude of observatory in radians. For JCMT this value is 3.46026051751D-1
LONG = DOUBLE PRECISION (Returned)
longitude of centre in input coord system (radians)
LAT = DOUBLE PRECISION (Returned)
latitude of centre in input coord system (radians)
STATUS = INTEGER (Given and returned)
Global status
