This is a suite of vector/matrix routines and various utilities that
|
|
underpin the astronomy algorithms, which include routines for the
|
|
following:
|
|
* Calendars
|
|
* Time Scales
|
|
* Earth rotation and sidereal time
|
|
* Ephemerides (medium precision)
|
|
* Geocentric/geodetic transformations
|
|
* Precession, nutation, polar motion
|
|
* Star space motion
|
|
* Star catalogue conversion
|
|
This is the ANSI C version of the library.
|
|
The International Astronomical Union's SOFA service has the task of
|
|
establishing and maintaining an accessible and authoritative set of
|
|
algorithms and procedures that implement standard models used in
|
|
fundamental astronomy.
