NAME

Astro::Montenbruck::NutEqu - Obliquity of the ecliptic & nutation.

SYNOPSIS

            

              
              
# given mean geocentric coordinates $x0, $y0, $z0,
# transform them to apparent coordinates $x1, $y1, $z1
my $func = nutequ( $t );
($x1, $y1, $z1) = $func->($x0, $y0, $z0); # true coordinates
            
          

DESCRIPTION

Functions dealing with ecliptic obliquity.

SUBROUTINES

deltas( $t )

Calculates the effects of nutation on the ecliptic longitude and on the obliquity of the ecliptic with accuracy of about 1 arcsecond. Given time in Julian centuries since J2000, return delta-psi and delta-eps.

Arguments

• $t — time in Julian centuries since J2000: (JD-2451545.0)/36525.0

Returns

($delta_psi, $delta_eps), in arc-degrees.

mean2true($t)

Returns function for transforming of mean to true coordinates.

Arguments

• $t — time in Julian centuries since J2000: (JD-2451545.0)/36525.0

Returns

Function which takes mean ecliptic geocentric rectangular coordinates X, Y, Z of a planet and returns ecliptic rectangular coordinates, referred to the equinox of date.

obliquity( $t )

Given time in Julian centuries since J2000, return mean obliquity of the ecliptic, in arc-degrees.
