+ REAL FUNCTION slRVLK (R2000, D2000)

+
+ Velocity component in a given direction due to the Sun's motion
+ with respect to an adopted kinematic Local Standard of Rest.
+
+ (single precision)
+
+ Given:
+ R2000,D2000 r J2000.0 mean RA,Dec (radians)
+
+ Result:
+ Component of "standard" 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 one of several
+ "kinematical" LSRs in common use. A kinematical LSR is the
+ mean standard of rest of specified star catalogues or stellar
+ populations. The Sun's motion with respect to a kinematical
+ LSR is known as the "standard" solar motion.
+
+ There is another sort of LSR, the "dynamical" LSR, which is 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. To
+ obtain a radial velocity correction with respect to the
+ dynamical LSR use the routine slRVLD.
