14** Given:
15** r2000,d2000 float J2000.0 mean RA,Dec (radians)
16**
17** Result:
18** Component of "standard" 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 one of several
25** "kinematical" LSRs in common use. A kinematical LSR is the
26** mean standard of rest of specified star catalogues or stellar
27** populations. The Sun's motion with respect to a kinematical
28** LSR is known as the "standard" solar motion.
29**
30** There is another sort of LSR, the "dynamical" LSR, which is a
31** point in the vicinity of the Sun which is in a circular orbit
32** around the Galactic centre. The Sun's motion with respect to
33** the dynamical LSR is called the "peculiar" solar motion. To
34** obtain a radial velocity correction with respect to the
35** dynamical LSR use the routine slaRvlsrd.
