apparent_equatorial_position_star: Equatorial coordinates for a star

In Susarro/arqastwb: Archaeoastronomy algorithms

Description

Equatorial coordinates for a star

Usage

apparent_equatorial_position_star(jd,
  former_jd = str2jd("2000-01-01T12:00"), former_declination,
  former_right_ascension, proper_motion_declination,
  proper_motion_right_ascension, precise = TRUE)

Arguments

jd	Julian day
former_jd	Julian day for reference (usually J2000)
former_declination	Reference declination in degrees
former_right_ascension	Reference right ascension in hour angle
proper_motion_declination	Proper motion declination in degrees
proper_motion_right_ascension	Proper motion right ascension in hour angle
precise	if precise calculation

Value

Equatorial coordinates

• declination Declination in degrees

• right_ascension Right ascension in hour angle

Examples

jd<-julian_day(13.19,11,2028)
former_jd<-str2jd("2000-01-01T12:00")
fd<-str2degrees("49<c3><82><c2><ba>13'42.48\u0022")
fra<-str2hours("02:44:11.986")
apparent_equatorial_position_star(jd,former_jd,fd,fra, -0.0895/3600, 0.03425/3600)
