.help subet Jun99 "Slalib Package" .nf SUBROUTINE slSUET (RC, DC, EQ, RM, DM) - - - - - - S U E T - - - - - - Remove the E-terms (elliptic component of annual aberration) from a pre IAU 1976 catalogue RA,Dec to give a mean place (double precision) Given: RC,DC dp RA,Dec (radians) with E-terms included EQ dp Besselian epoch of mean equator and equinox Returned: RM,DM dp RA,Dec (radians) without E-terms Called: slETRM, slDS2C, sla_,DVDV, slDC2S, slDA2P Explanation: Most star positions from pre-1984 optical catalogues (or derived from astrometry using such stars) embody the E-terms. This routine converts such a position to a formal mean place (allowing, for example, comparison with a pulsar timing position).
