10** Polar motion: correct site longitude and latitude for polar
11** motion and calculate azimuth difference between celestial and
12** terrestrial poles.
13**
14** Given:
15** elongm double mean longitude of the observer (radians, east +ve)
16** phim double mean geodetic latitude of the observer (radians)
17** xp double polar motion x-coordinate (radians)
18** yp double polar motion y-coordinate (radians)
19**
20** Returned:
21** elong double* true longitude of the observer (radians, east +ve)
22** phi double* true geodetic latitude of the observer (radians)
23** daz double* azimuth correction (terrestrial-celestial, radians)
24**
25** Notes:
26**
27** 1) "Mean" longitude and latitude are the (fixed) values for the
28** site's location with respect to the IERS terrestrial reference
29** frame; the latitude is geodetic. TAKE CARE WITH THE LONGITUDE
30** SIGN CONVENTION. The longitudes used by the present routine
31** are east-positive, in accordance with geographical convention
32** (and right-handed). In particular, note that the longitudes
33** Returned by the slaObs routine are west-positive, following
34** astronomical usage, and must be reversed in sign before use in
35** the present routine.
36**
37** 2) xp and yp are the (changing) coordinates of the Celestial
38** Ephemeris Pole with respect to the IERS Reference Pole.
39** xp is positive along the meridian at longitude 0 degrees,
40** and yp is positive along the meridian at longitude
41** 270 degrees (i.e. 90 degrees west). Values for xp,yp can
42** be obtained from IERS circulars and equivalent publications;
43** the maximum amplitude observed so far is about 0.3 arcseconds.
44**
45** 3) "True" longitude and latitude are the (moving) values for
46** the site's location with respect to the celestial ephemeris
47** pole and the meridian which corresponds to the Greenwich
48** apparent sidereal time. The true longitude and latitude
49** link the terrestrial coordinates with the standard celestial
50** models (for precession, nutation, sidereal time etc).
51**
52** 4) The azimuths produced by slaAop and slaAopqk are with
53** respect to due north as defined by the Celestial Ephemeris
54** Pole, and can therefore be called "celestial azimuths".
55** However, a telescope fixed to the Earth measures azimuth
56** essentially with respect to due north as defined by the
57** IERS Reference Pole, and can therefore be called "terrestrial
58** azimuth". Uncorrected, this would manifest itself as a
59** changing "azimuth zero-point error". The value daz is the
60** correction to be added to a celestial azimuth to produce
61** a terrestrial azimuth.
62**
63** 5) The present routine is rigorous. For most practical
64** purposes, the following simplified formulae provide an
65** adequate approximation:
66**
67** elong = elongm+xp*cos(elongm)-yp*sin(elongm);
68** phi = phim+(xp*sin(elongm)+yp*cos(elongm))*tan(phim);
69** daz = -sqrt(xp*xp+yp*yp)*cos(elongm-atan2(xp,yp))/cos(phim);
70**
71** An alternative formulation for daz is:
72**
73** x = cos(elongm)*cos(phim);
74** y = sin(elongm)*cos(phim);
75** daz = atan2(-x*yp-y*xp,x*x+y*y);
