+EXPLANATION AND EXAMPLES +

+To guide the writer of positional-astronomy applications software, +this final chapter puts the SLALIB routines into the context of +astronomical phenomena and techniques, and presents a few +``cookbook'' examples +of the SLALIB calls in action. The astronomical content of the chapter +is not, of course, intended to be a substitute for specialist text-books on +positional astronomy, but may help bridge the gap between +such books and the SLALIB routines. For further reading, the following +cover a wide range of material and styles: +

Explanatory Supplement to the Astronomical Almanac, + ed. P.Kenneth Seidelmann (1992), University Science Books. +
Vectorial Astrometry, C.A.Murray (1983), Adam Hilger. +
Spherical Astronomy, Robin M.Green (1985), Cambridge + University Press. +
Spacecraft Attitude Determination and Control, + ed. James R.Wertz (1986), Reidel. +
Practical Astronomy with your Calculator, + Peter Duffett-Smith (1981), Cambridge University Press. +

+Also of considerable value, though out of date in places, are: +

Explanatory Supplement to the Astronomical Ephemeris + and the American Ephemeris and Nautical Almanac, RGO/USNO (1974), + HMSO. +
Textbook on Spherical Astronomy, W.M.Smart (1977), + Cambridge University Press. +

+Only brief details of individual SLALIB routines are given here, and +readers will find it useful to refer to the subprogram specifications +elsewhere in this document. The source code for the SLALIB routines +(available in both Fortran and C) is also intended to be used as +documentation. +
