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 matrix operates in the sense V(true) = RMATN * V(mean), * where the p-vector V(true) is with respect to the true * equatorial triad of date and the p-vector V(mean) is with * respect to the mean equatorial triad of date. * * 3) The present routine is faster, but slightly less accurate (about * 1 mas), than the iau_NUM00A routine. * * Called: * iau_PN00B bias/precession/nutation, IAU 2000B * * Reference: * * Explanatory Supplement to the Astronomical Almanac, * P.
