14** Given:
15** r2000,d2000 float J2000.0 mean RA,Dec (radians)
16**
17** Result:
18** Component of "peculiar" solar motion in direction R2000,D2000 (km/s)
19**
20** Sign convention:
21** The result is +ve when the Sun is receding from the given point on
22** the sky.
23**
24** Note: The Local Standard of Rest used here is the "dynamical" LSR,
25** a point in the vicinity of the Sun which is in a circular
26** orbit around the Galactic centre. The Sun's motion with
27** respect to the dynamical LSR is called the "peculiar" solar
28** motion.
29**
30** There is another type of LSR, called a "kinematical" LSR. A
31** kinematical LSR is the mean standard of rest of specified star
32** catalogues or stellar populations, and several slightly
33** different kinematical LSRs are in use. The Sun's motion with
34** respect to an agreed kinematical LSR is known as the "standard"
35** solar motion. To obtain a radial velocity correction with
36** respect to an adopted kinematical LSR use the routine slaRvlsrk.

48** Peculiar solar motion from Delhaye 1965: in Galactic Cartesian
49** coordinates (+9,+12,+7) km/s. This corresponds to about 16.6 km/s
50** towards Galactic coordinates L2 = 53 deg, B2 = +25 deg, or RA,Dec
51** 17 49 58.7 +28 07 04 J2000.

53** The solar motion is expressed here in the form of a J2000.0
54** equatorial Cartesian vector:
55**
56** va(1) = x = -speed*cos(ra)*cos(dec)
57** va(2) = y = -speed*sin(ra)*cos(dec)
58** va(3) = z = -speed*sin(dec)
