+
+ Compute the E-terms (elliptic component of annual aberration)
+ vector (double precision)
+
+ Given:
+ EP dp Besselian epoch
+
+ Returned:
+ EV dp(3) E-terms as (dx,dy,dz)
+
+ Note the use of the J2000 aberration constant (20.49552 arcsec).
+ This is a reflection of the fact that the E-terms embodied in
+ existing star catalogues were computed from a variety of
+ aberration constants. Rather than adopting one of the old
+ constants the latest value is used here.
