palEvp

Returns the barycentric and heliocentric velocity and position of the Earth

Description:

Returns the barycentric and heliocentric velocity and position of the Earth at a given epoch, given with respect to a specified equinox. For information about accuracy, see the function eraEpv00.

Invocation

void palEvp( double date, double deqx, double dvb[3], double dpb[3], double dvh[3], double dph[3] )

Arguments

date = double (Given)
TDB (loosely ET) as a Modified Julian Date (JD-2400000.5)
deqx = double (Given)
Julian epoch (e.g. 2000.0) of mean equator and equinox of the vectors returned. If deqx <= 0.0, all vectors are referred to the mean equator and equinox (FK5) of epoch date.
dvb = double[3] (Returned)
Barycentric velocity (AU/s, AU)
dpb = double[3] (Returned)
Barycentric position (AU/s, AU)
dvh = double[3] (Returned)
heliocentric velocity (AU/s, AU)
dph = double[3] (Returned)
Heliocentric position (AU/s, AU)
