+ DOUBLE PRECISION FUNCTION slDTT (UTC)
+
+ - - - -
+ D T T
+ - - - -
+
+ Increment to be applied to Coordinated Universal Time UTC to give
+ Terrestrial Time TT (formerly Ephemeris Time ET)
+
+ (double precision)
+
+ Given:
+ UTC d UTC date as a modified JD (JD-2400000.5)
+
+ Result: TT-UTC in seconds
+
+ Notes:
+
+ 1 The UTC is specified to be a date rather than a time to indicate
+ that care needs to be taken not to specify an instant which lies
+ within a leap second. Though in most cases UTC can include the
+ fractional part, correct behaviour on the day of a leap second
+ can only be guaranteed up to the end of the second 23:59:59.
+
+ 2 Pre 1972 January 1 a fixed value of 10 + ET-TAI is returned.
+
+ 3 See also the routine slDT, which roughly estimates ET-UT for
+ historical epochs.
+
+ Called: slDAT
