palAoppat

Recompute sidereal time to support apparent to observed place

Description:

This routine recomputes the sidereal time in the apparent to observed place star-independent parameter block.

Invocation

void palAoppat( double date, double aoprms[14] );

Arguments

date = double (Given)
UTC date/time (modified Julian Date, JD-2400000.5) (see palAoppa description for comments on leap seconds)
aoprms = double[14] (Given & Returned)
Star-independent apparent-to-observed parameters. Updated by this routine. Requires element 12 to be the longitude + eqn of equinoxes + sidereal DUT and fills in element 13 with the local apparent sidereal time (in radians).
