For example, * JD=2450123.7 could be expressed in any of these ways, among * others: * * UTA UTB * * 2450123.7D0 0D0 (JD method) * 2451545D0 -1421.3D0 (J2000 method) * 2400000.5D0 50123.2D0 (MJD method) * 2450123.5D0 0.2D0 (date & time method) * * The JD method is the most natural and convenient to use in cases * where the loss of several decimal digits of resolution is * acceptable. The J2000 and MJD methods are good compromises * between resolution and convenience. For UT, the date & time * method is best matched to the algorithm that is used by the Earth * Rotation Angle routine, called internally: maximum accuracy (or, * at least, minimum noise) is delivered when the UTA argument is for * 0hrs UT1 on the day in question and the UTB argument lies in the * range 0 to 1, or vice versa. * * 2) The result is compatible with the IAU 1982 and 1994 resolutions, * except that accuracy has been compromised for the sake of * convenience in that UT is used instead of TDB (or TT) to compute * the equation of the equinoxes. * * 3) This GAST must be used only in conjunction with contemporaneous * IAU standards such as 1976 precession, 1980 obliquity and 1982 * nutation. It is not compatible with the IAU 2000 resolutions. * * Called: * iau_GMST82 Greenwich Mean Sidereal Time, IAU 1982 * iau_EQEQ94 equation of the equinoxes, IAU 1994 * iau_ANP normalize angle into range 0 to 2pi * * References: * * Explanatory Supplement to the Astronomical Almanac, * P.
