.help fk5hz Jun99 "Slalib Package" .nf SUBROUTINE slF5HZ (R5,D5,EPOCH,RH,DH) - - - - - - F 5 H Z - - - - - - Transform an FK5 (J2000) star position into the frame of the Hipparcos catalogue, assuming zero Hipparcos proper motion. (double precision) This routine converts a star position from the FK5 system to the Hipparcos system, in such a way that the Hipparcos proper motion is zero. Because such a star has, in general, a non-zero proper motion in the FK5 system, the routine requires the epoch at which the position in the FK5 system was determined. Given: R5 d FK5 RA (radians), equinox J2000, epoch EPOCH D5 d FK5 Dec (radians), equinox J2000, epoch EPOCH EPOCH d Julian epoch (TDB) Returned (all Hipparcos): RH d RA (radians) DH d Dec (radians) Called: slDS2C, slDAVM, slDIMV, slDMXV, slDC2S Notes: 1) The FK5 to Hipparcos transformation consists of a pure rotation and spin; zonal errors in the FK5 catalogue are not taken into account. 2) The published orientation and spin components are interpreted as "axial vectors". An axial vector points at the pole of the rotation and its length is the amount of rotation in radians. 3) See also slFK5H, slHFK5, slHF5Z. Reference: M.Feissel & F.Mignard, Astron.
