/************************************************************************ COMPUTATION OF THE COORDINATES OF THE URANIAN SATELLITES (GUST86), version 0.1 (1988,1995) by LASKAR J. and JACOBSON, R. can be found at ftp://ftp.imcce.fr/pub/ephem/satel/gust86 I (Johannes Gajdosik) have just taken the Fortran code and data obtained from above and rearranged it into this piece of software. I can neigther allow nor forbid the usage of the GUST86 theory.

My implementation of GUST86 has the following modifications: 1) Rotate results to "dynamical equinox and ecliptic J2000", the reference frame of VSOP87 and VSOP87A: The rotation matrix Gust86ToJ2000 can be derived from gust86.f, the rotation J2000ToVsop87 can be derived from vsop87.doc. 2) units used in calculations: julian day, AU, rad 3) use the same function EllipticToRectangular that I use in TASS17. 4) calculate the orbital elements not for every new jd but rather reuse the previousely calculated elements if possible ****************************************************************/ #ifndef _GUST86_H_ #define _GUST86_H_ #ifdef __cplusplus extern "C" { #endif #define GUST86_MIRANDA 0 #define GUST86_ARIEL 1 #define GUST86_UMBRIEL 2 #define GUST86_TITANIA 3 #define GUST86_OBERON 4 void GetGust86Coor(double jd,int body,double *xyz); /* Return the rectangular coordinates of the given satellite and the given julian date jd expressed in dynamical time (TAI+32.184s). The origin of the xyz-coordinates is the center of the planet. The reference frame is "dynamical equinox and ecliptic J2000", which is the reference frame in VSOP87 and VSOP87A. According to vsop87.doc VSOP87 coordinates can be transformed to FK5 (=J2000=ICRF for our accuracy requirements) by X cos(psi) -sin(psi) 0 1 0 0 X Y = sin(psi) cos(psi) 0 * 0 cos(eps) -sin(eps) * Y Z FK5 0 0 1 0 sin(eps) cos(eps) Z VSOP87 with psi = -0.0000275 degrees = -0.099 arcsec and eps = 23.4392803055556 degrees = 23d26m21.4091sec. http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/horizons_doc.html#frames says: "J2000" selects an Earth Mean-Equator and dynamical Equinox of Epoch J2000.0 inertial reference system, where the Epoch of J2000.0 is the Julian date 2451545.0. "Mean" indicates nutation effects are ignored in the frame definition. The system is aligned with the IAU-sponsored J2000 frame of the Radio Source Catalog of the International Earth Rotational Service (ICRF). The ICRF is thought to differ from FK5 by at most 0.01 arcsec. From this I conclude that in the context of stellarium ICRF, J2000 and FK5 are the same, while the transformation ICRF <-> VSOP87 must be done with the matrix given above. */ void GetGust86OsculatingCoor(double jd0,double jd,int body,double *xyz); /* The oculating orbit of epoch jd0, evatuated at jd, is returned. */ #ifdef __cplusplus } #endif #endif
