45* Notes:
46* - "Mean" longitude and latitude are the (fixed) values for the
47* site's location with respect to the IERS terrestrial reference
48* frame; the latitude is geodetic. TAKE CARE WITH THE LONGITUDE
49* SIGN CONVENTION. The longitudes used by the present routine
50* are east-positive, in accordance with geographical convention
51* (and right-handed). In particular, note that the longitudes
52* returned by the sla_OBS routine are west-positive, following
53* astronomical usage, and must be reversed in sign before use in
54* the present routine.
55*
56* - XP and YP are the (changing) coordinates of the Celestial
57* Ephemeris Pole with respect to the IERS Reference Pole.
58* XP is positive along the meridian at longitude 0 degrees,
59* and YP is positive along the meridian at longitude
60* 270 degrees (i.e. 90 degrees west). Values for XP,YP can
61* be obtained from IERS circulars and equivalent publications;
62* the maximum amplitude observed so far is about 0.3 arcseconds.
63*
64* - "True" longitude and latitude are the (moving) values for
65* the site's location with respect to the celestial ephemeris
66* pole and the meridian which corresponds to the Greenwich
67* apparent sidereal time. The true longitude and latitude
68* link the terrestrial coordinates with the standard celestial
69* models (for precession, nutation, sidereal time etc).
70*
71* - The azimuths produced by sla_AOP and sla_AOPQK are with
72* respect to due north as defined by the Celestial Ephemeris
73* Pole, and can therefore be called "celestial azimuths".
74* However, a telescope fixed to the Earth measures azimuth
75* essentially with respect to due north as defined by the
76* IERS Reference Pole, and can therefore be called "terrestrial
77* azimuth". Uncorrected, this would manifest itself as a
78* changing "azimuth zero-point error". The value DAZ is the
79* correction to be added to a celestial azimuth to produce
80* a terrestrial azimuth.
81*
82* - The present routine is rigorous. For most practical
83* purposes, the following simplified formulae provide an
84* adequate approximation:
85*
86* elong = elongm+xp*cos(elongm)-yp*sin(elongm)
87* phi = phim+(xp*sin(elongm)+yp*cos(elongm))*tan(phim)
88* daz = -sqrt(xp*xp+yp*yp)*cos(elongm-atan2(xp,yp))/cos(phim)
89*
90* An alternative formulation for DAZ is:
91*
92* x = cos(elongm)*cos(phim)
93* y = sin(elongm)*cos(phim)
94* daz = atan2(-x*yp-y*xp,x*x+y*y)
