For example, JD=2450123.7 could be expressed in * any of these ways, among others: * * Part A Part B * * 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 (in the case of UT; the TT is not at all critical * in this respect). 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) Both UT1 and TT are required, UT1 to predict the Earth rotation * and TT to predict the effects of precession-nutation. If UT1 is * used for both purposes, errors of order 100 microarcseconds * result. * * 3) This GAST is compatible with the IAU 2000/2006 resolutions and * must be used only in conjunction with IAU 2006 precession and * IAU 2000A nutation. * * 4) The result is returned in the range 0 to 2pi. * * Called: * iau_PNM06A classical NPB matrix, IAU 2006/2000A * iau_GST06 Greenwich apparent ST, IAU 2006, given NPB matrix * * Reference: * * Wallace, P.T. & Capitaine, N., 2006, Astron.Astrophys. 459, 981 * * This revision: 2010 March 5 * * SOFA release 2015-02-09 * * Copyright (C) 2015 IAU SOFA Board.
