3* Name:
4* palRvgalc
5
6* Purpose:
7* Velocity component in a given direction due to the rotation
8* of the Galaxy.
9
10* Language:
11* Starlink ANSI C
12
13* Type of Module:
14* Library routine
15
16* Invocation:
17* double palRvgalc( double r2000, double d2000 )
18
19* Arguments:
20* r2000 = double (Given)
21* J2000.0 mean RA (radians)
22* d2000 = double (Given)
23* J2000.0 mean Dec (radians)
24
25* Returned Value:
26* Component of dynamical LSR motion in direction R2000,D2000 (km/s).
27
28* Description:
29* This function returns the Component of dynamical LSR motion in
30* the direction of R2000,D2000. The result is +ve when the dynamical
31* LSR is receding from the given point on the sky.
32*
33* Notes:
34* - The Local Standard of Rest used here is a point in the
35* vicinity of the Sun which is in a circular orbit around
36* the Galactic centre. Sometimes called the "dynamical" LSR,
37* it is not to be confused with a "kinematical" LSR, which
38* is the mean standard of rest of star catalogues or stellar
39* populations.
40*
41* Reference:
42* - The orbital speed of 220 km/s used here comes from Kerr &
43* Lynden-Bell (1986), MNRAS, 221, p1023.
