palGaleq

Convert from galactic to J2000.0 equatorial coordinates

Description:

Transformation from IAU 1958 galactic coordinates to J2000.0 equatorial coordinates.

Invocation

void palGaleq ( double dl, double db, double dr, double dd );

Arguments

dl = double (Given)
Galactic longitude (radians).
db = double (Given)
Galactic latitude (radians).
dr = double (Returned)
J2000.0 RA (radians)
dd = double (Returned)
J2000.0 Dec (radians)

Notes:

The equatorial coordinates are J2000.0. Use the routine palGe50 if conversion to B1950.0 FK4 coordinates is required.
