<DT><STRONG>ACTION:</STRONG>
<DD>Compute star-independent parameters in preparation for
conversions between mean place and geocentric apparent place.
         The parameters produced by this routine are required in the
         parallax, light deflection, aberration, and precession/nutation
         parts of the mean/apparent transformations.
         The reference frames and timescales used are post IAU&nbsp;1976.

<DD><DL COMPACT>
<DT>1.
<DD>For DATE, the distinction between the required TDB and TT
is always negligible.  Moreover, for all but the most
critical applications UTC is adequate.
  <DT>2.
<DD>The accuracy of the routines using the parameters AMPRMS is
        limited by the routine sla_EVP, used here to compute the
        Earth position and velocity by the methods of Stumpff.
        The maximum error in the resulting aberration corrections is
        about 0.3 milliarcsecond.
  <DT>3.
<DD>The vectors AMPRMS(2-4) and AMPRMS(5-7) are referred to
        the mean equinox and equator of epoch EQ.
  <DT>4.
<DD>The parameters produced by this routine are used by
        sla_MAPQK and sla_MAPQKZ.
