3* Name:
4* palFk54z
5
6* Purpose:
7* Convert a J2000.0 FK5 star position to B1950.0 FK4 assuming
8* zero proper motion and parallax.
9
10* Language:
11* Starlink ANSI C
12
13* Type of Module:
14* Library routine
15
16* Invocation:
17* palFk54z( double r2000, double d2000, double bepoch, double *r1950,
18* double *d1950, double *dr1950, double *dd1950 )
19
20* Arguments:
21* r2000 = double (Given)
22* J2000.0 FK5 RA (radians).
23* d2000 = double (Given)
24* J2000.0 FK5 Dec (radians).
25* bepoch = double (Given)
26* Besselian epoch (e.g. 1950.0).
27* r1950 = double * (Returned)
28* B1950 FK4 RA (radians) at epoch "bepoch".
29* d1950 = double * (Returned)
30* B1950 FK4 Dec (radians) at epoch "bepoch".
31* dr1950 = double * (Returned)
32* B1950 FK4 proper motion (RA) (radians/trop.yr)).
33* dr1950 = double * (Returned)
34* B1950 FK4 proper motion (Dec) (radians/trop.yr)).
35
36* Description:
37* This function converts star positions from the IAU 1976,
38* FK5, Fricke system to the Bessel-Newcomb, FK4 system.
39
40* Notes:
41* - The proper motion in RA is dRA/dt rather than cos(Dec)*dRA/dt.
42* - Conversion from Julian epoch 2000.0 to Besselian epoch 1950.0
43* only is provided for. Conversions involving other epochs will
44* require use of the appropriate precession functions before and
45* after this function is called.
46* - The FK5 proper motions, the parallax and the radial velocity
47* are presumed zero.
48* - It is the intention that FK5 should be a close approximation
49* to an inertial frame, so that distant objects have zero proper
50* motion; such objects have (in general) non-zero proper motion
51* in FK4, and this function returns those fictitious proper
52* motions.
53* - The position returned by this function is in the B1950
54* reference frame but at Besselian epoch BEPOCH. For comparison
55* with catalogues the "bepoch" argument will frequently be 1950.0.
