SUBROUTINE sla_H2E (AZ, EL, PHI, HA, DEC) *+ * - - - - - * D E 2 H * - - - - - * * Horizon to equatorial coordinates: Az,El to HA,Dec * * (single precision) * * Given: * AZ r azimuth * EL r elevation * PHI r observatory latitude * * Returned: * HA r hour angle * DEC r declination * * Notes: * * 1) All the arguments are angles in radians. * * 2) The sign convention for azimuth is north zero, east +pi/2. * * 3) HA is returned in the range +/-pi. Declination is returned * in the range +/-pi/2. * * 4) The latitude is (in principle) geodetic. In critical * applications, corrections for polar motion should be applied. * * 5) In some applications it will be important to specify the * correct type of elevation in order to produce the required * type of HA,Dec. In particular, it may be important to * distinguish between the elevation as affected by refraction, * which will yield the "observed" HA,Dec, and the elevation * in vacuo, which will yield the "topocentric" HA,Dec. If the * effects of diurnal aberration can be neglected, the * topocentric HA,Dec may be used as an approximation to the * "apparent" HA,Dec. * * 6) No range checking of arguments is done. * * 7) In applications which involve many such calculations, rather * than calling the present routine it will be more efficient to * use inline code, having previously computed fixed terms such * as sine and cosine of latitude. * * P.T.Wallace Starlink 21 February 1996 * * Copyright (C) 1996 Rutherford Appleton Laboratory *- IMPLICIT NONE REAL AZ,EL,PHI,HA,DEC DOUBLE PRECISION SA,CA,SE,CE,SP,CP,X,Y,Z,R * Useful trig functions SA=SIN(AZ) CA=COS(AZ) SE=SIN(EL) CE=COS(EL) SP=SIN(PHI) CP=COS(PHI) * HA,Dec as x,y,z X=-CA*CE*SP+SE*CP Y=-SA*CE Z=CA*CE*CP+SE*SP * To HA,Dec R=SQRT(X*X+Y*Y) IF (R.EQ.0.0) THEN HA=0.0 ELSE HA=ATAN2(Y,X) END IF DEC=ATAN2(Z,R) END
