3* Name:
4* palEtrms
5
6* Purpose:
7* Compute the E-terms vector
8
9* Language:
10* Starlink ANSI C
11
12* Type of Module:
13* Library routine
14
15* Invocation:
16* void palEtrms ( double ep, double ev[3] );
17
18* Arguments:
19* ep = double (Given)
20* Besselian epoch
21* ev = double [3] (Returned)
22* E-terms as (dx,dy,dz)
23
24* Description:
25* Computes the E-terms (elliptic component of annual aberration)
26* vector.
27*
28* Note the use of the J2000 aberration constant (20.49552 arcsec).
29* This is a reflection of the fact that the E-terms embodied in
30* existing star catalogues were computed from a variety of
31* aberration constants. Rather than adopting one of the old
32* constants the latest value is used here.
