For example, * JD(TT)=2450123.7 could be expressed in any of these ways, * among others: * * DATE1 DATE2 * * 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 method is best matched to the way * the argument is handled internally and will deliver the * optimum resolution. The MJD method and the date & time methods * are both good compromises between resolution and convenience. * * 2) The result, which is in radians, operates in the following sense: * * Greenwich apparent ST = GMST + equation of the equinoxes * * Called: * iau_ANPM normalize angle into range +/- pi * iau_GST06A Greenwich apparent sidereal time, IAU 2006/2000A * iau_GMST06 Greenwich mean sidereal time, IAU 2006 * * Reference: * * McCarthy, D.
