+ SUBROUTINE slHFK5 (RH,DH,DRH,DDH,R5,D5,DR5,DD5)

+
+ Transform Hipparcos star data into the FK5 (J2000) system.
+
+ (double precision)
+
+ This routine transforms Hipparcos star positions and proper
+ motions into FK5 J2000.
+
+ Given (all Hipparcos, epoch J2000):
+ RH d RA (radians)
+ DH d Dec (radians)
+ DRH d proper motion in RA (dRA/dt, rad/Jyear)
+ DDH d proper motion in Dec (dDec/dt, rad/Jyear)
+
+ Returned (all FK5, equinox J2000, epoch J2000):
+ R5 d RA (radians)
+ D5 d Dec (radians)
+ DR5 d proper motion in RA (dRA/dt, rad/Jyear)
+ DD5 d proper motion in Dec (dDec/dt, rad/Jyear)
+
+ Called: slDSC6, slDAVM, slDMXV, slDIMV, slDVXV,
+ slDC6S
+
+ Notes:
+
+ 1) The proper motions in RA are dRA/dt rather than
+ cos(Dec)*dRA/dt, and are per year rather than per century.
+
+ 2) The FK5 to Hipparcos transformation consists of a pure
+ rotation and spin; zonal errors in the FK5 catalogue are
+ not taken into account.
+
+ 3) The published orientation and spin components are interpreted
+ as "axial vectors". An axial vector points at the pole of the
+ rotation and its length is the amount of rotation in radians.
+
+ 4) See also slFK5H, slF5HZ, slHF5Z.
