<DD><DL COMPACT>
<DT>1.
<DD>Sign convention: the result is positive when
the Sun is receding from the given point on the sky.
<DT>2.
<DD>The Local Standard of Rest used here is the <I>dynamical</I> LSR,
        a point in the vicinity of the Sun which is in a circular
        orbit around the Galactic centre.  The Sun's motion with
        respect to the dynamical LSR is called the <I>peculiar</I> solar
        motion.
  <DT>3.
<DD>There is another type of LSR, called a <I>kinematical</I> LSR.  A
        kinematical LSR is the mean standard of rest of specified star
        catalogues or stellar populations, and several slightly
        different kinematical LSRs are in use.  The Sun's motion with
        respect to an agreed kinematical LSR is known as the
        <I>standard</I> solar motion.
        The dynamical LSR is seldom used by observational astronomers,
        who conventionally use a kinematical LSR such as the one implemented
        in the routine sla_RVLSRK.
  <DT>4.
<DD>The peculiar solar motion is from Delhaye (1965), in <I>Stars
        and Stellar Systems</I>, vol&nbsp;5, p73:  in Galactic Cartesian
        coordinates (+9,+12,+7)&nbsp;km&nbsp;s<SUP>-1</SUP>.
        This corresponds to about 16.6&nbsp;km&nbsp;s<SUP>-1</SUP>
        towards Galactic coordinates <IMG WIDTH="148" HEIGHT="32" ALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0"
