For example, JD(TDB)=2450123.7 could be expressed in any * of these ways, among others: * * DATEn1 DATEn2 * * 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 * optimum resolution. The MJD method and the date & time methods * are both good compromises between resolution and convenience. * The two dates may be expressed using different methods, but at * the risk of losing some resolution. * * 2) The accumulated precession angles zeta, z, theta are expressed * through canonical polynomials which are valid only for a limited * time span. In addition, the IAU 1976 precession rate is known to * be imperfect. The absolute accuracy of the present formulation is * better than 0.1 arcsec from 1960AD to 2040AD, better than 1 arcsec * from 1640AD to 2360AD, and remains below 3 arcsec for the whole of * the period 500BC to 3000AD. The errors exceed 10 arcsec outside * the range 1200BC to 3900AD, exceed 100 arcsec outside 4200BC to * 5600AD and exceed 1000 arcsec outside 6800BC to 8200AD. * * 3) The three angles are returned in the conventional order, which * is not the same as the order of the corresponding Euler rotations. * The precession matrix is R_3(-z) x R_2(+theta) x R_3(-zeta). * * Reference: * * Lieske, J.H., 1979, Astron.Astrophys. 73, 282. * equations (6) & (7), p283. * * This revision: 2013 November 19 * * SOFA release 2013-12-02 * * Copyright (C) 2013 IAU SOFA Board.
