3* Name:
4* palPreces
5
6* Purpose:
7* Precession - either FK4 or FK5 as required.
8
9* Language:
10* Starlink ANSI C
11
12* Type of Module:
13* Library routine
14
15* Invocation:
16* void palPreces ( const char sys[3], double ep0, double ep1,
17* double *ra, double *dc );
18
19* Arguments:
20* sys = const char [3] (Given)
21* Precession to be applied: FK4 or FK5. Case insensitive.
22* ep0 = double (Given)
23* Starting epoch.
24* ep1 = double (Given)
25* Ending epoch
26* ra = double * (Given & Returned)
27* On input the RA mean equator & equinox at epoch ep0. On exit
28* the RA mean equator & equinox of epoch ep1.
29* dec = double * (Given & Returned)
30* On input the dec mean equator & equinox at epoch ep0. On exit
31* the dec mean equator & equinox of epoch ep1.
32
33* Description:
34* Precess coordinates using the appropriate system and epochs.
35
36* Authors:
37* PTW: Patrick T. Wallace
38* TIMJ: Tim Jenness (JAC, Hawaii)

41* Notes:
42* - Uses palPrec for FK5 data and palPrebn for FK4 data.
43* - The epochs are Besselian if SYSTEM='FK4' and Julian if 'FK5'.
44* For example, to precess coordinates in the old system from
45* equinox 1900.0 to 1950.0 the call would be:
46* palPreces( "FK4", 1900.0, 1950.0, &ra, &dc );
47* - This routine will NOT correctly convert between the old and
48* the new systems - for example conversion from B1950 to J2000.
49* For these purposes see palFk425, palFk524, palFk45z and
50* palFk54z.
51* - If an invalid SYSTEM is supplied, values of -99D0,-99D0 will
52* be returned for both RA and DC.
