Compute the E-terms vector
Note the use of the J2000 aberration constant (20.49552 arcsec). This is a reflection of the fact that the E-terms embodied in existing star catalogues were computed from a variety of aberration constants. Rather than adopting one of the old constants the latest value is used here.
