*      R V G A L C

*
*  Velocity component in a given direction due to the rotation
*  of the Galaxy (single precision)
*
*  Given:
*     R2000,D2000   real    J2000.0 mean RA,Dec (radians)
*
*  Result:
*     Component of dynamical LSR motion in direction R2000,D2000 (km/s)
*
*  Sign convention:
*     The result is +ve when the dynamical LSR is receding from the
*     given point on the sky.
*
*  Note:  The Local Standard of Rest used here is a point in the
*         vicinity of the Sun which is in a circular orbit around
*         the Galactic centre.  Sometimes called the "dynamical" LSR,
*         it is not to be confused with a "kinematical" LSR, which
*         is the mean standard of rest of star catalogues or stellar
*         populations.
*
*  Reference:  The orbital speed of 220 km/s used here comes from
*              Kerr & Lynden-Bell (1986), MNRAS, 221, p1023.
