+  Velocity component in a given direction due to the Sun's motion
+  with respect to the dynamical Local Standard of Rest.
+
+  (single precision)
+
+  Given:
+     R2000,D2000   r    J2000.0 mean RA,Dec (radians)
+
+  Result:
+     Component of "peculiar" solar motion in direction R2000,D2000 (km/s)
+
+  Sign convention:
+     The result is +ve when the Sun is receding from the given point on
+     the sky.
+
+  Note:  The Local Standard of Rest used here is the "dynamical" 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 "peculiar" solar
+         motion.
+
+         There is another type of LSR, called a "kinematical" 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 "standard"
+         solar motion.  To obtain a radial velocity correction with
+         respect to an adopted kinematical LSR use the routine slRVLK.
