(double precision) This routine transforms FK5 star positions and proper motions into the frame of the Hipparcos catalogue. Given (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) Returned (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) Called: slDSC6, slDAVM, slDMXV, 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 slHFK5, slF5HZ, slHF5Z. Reference: M.Feissel & F.Mignard, Astron.
