SUBROUTINE iau_PMAT76 ( DATE1, DATE2, RMATP ) *+ * - - - - - - - - - - - * i a u _ P M A T 7 6 * - - - - - - - - - - - * * Precession matrix from J2000 to a specified date, IAU 1976 model. * * This routine is part of the International Astronomical Union's * SOFA (Standards of Fundamental Astronomy) software collection. * * Status: support routine. * * Given: * DATE1,DATE2 d ending date, TDB (Note 1) * * Returned: * RMATP d(3,3) precession matrix, J2000 -> DATE1+DATE2 * * Notes: * * 1) The ending date DATE1+DATE2 is a Julian Date, apportioned * in any convenient way between the arguments DATE1 and DATE2. * For example, JD(TDB)=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(date) = RMATP * V(J2000), * where the p-vector V(J2000) is with respect to the mean * equatorial triad of epoch J2000 and the p-vector V(date) * is with respect to the mean equatorial triad of the given * date. * * 3) Though the matrix method itself is rigorous, the precession * angles 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. * * Called: * iau_PREC76 accumulated precession angles, IAU 1976 * iau_IR initialize r-matrix to identity * iau_RZ rotate around Z-axis * iau_RY rotate around Y-axis * iau_CR copy r-matrix * * References: * * Lieske,J.H., 1979.
