.help dtt Jun99 "Slalib Package" .nf DOUBLE PRECISION FUNCTION slDTT (UTC) - - - - D T T - - - - Increment to be applied to Coordinated Universal Time UTC to give Terrestrial Time TT (formerly Ephemeris Time ET) (double precision) Given: UTC d UTC date as a modified JD (JD-2400000.5) Result: TT-UTC in seconds Notes: 1 The UTC is specified to be a date rather than a time to indicate that care needs to be taken not to specify an instant which lies within a leap second. Though in most cases UTC can include the fractional part, correct behaviour on the day of a leap second can only be guaranteed up to the end of the second 23:59:59. 2 Pre 1972 January 1 a fixed value of 10 + ET-TAI is returned. 3 See also the routine slDT, which roughly estimates ET-UT for historical epochs.
