Description:
Generate the matrix of precession between two epochs, using the old, pre-IAU1976,
Bessel-Newcomb model, using Kinoshita’ s formulation
Invocation
void palPrebn
( double bep0, double bep1, double rmatp[3][3] );
Arguments
bep0 = double
(Given)
Beginning Besselian epoch.
bep1 = double (Given)
Ending Besselian epoch
rmatp = double[3][3] (Returned)
precession matrix in the sense V(BEP1) = RMATP
∗
V(BEP0)
