The year and day can be obtained by calling slCAYD or slCLYD. 2 Sign convention: The velocity component is +ve when the Earth is receding from the given point on the sky. The light time component is +ve when the Earth lies between the Sun and the given point on the sky. 3 Accuracy: The velocity component is usually within 0.004 km/s of the correct value and is never in error by more than 0.007 km/s. The error in light time correction is about 0.03s at worst, but is usually better than 0.01s. For applications requiring higher accuracy, see the slEVP routine.
