CL_mod_precessionMatrix

Description

• This function is deprecated.

• Computes the precession matrix, rotation vector and its time derivatives.

  Matrix from mean equator/equinox at date t to mean equator/equinox at J2000.

  if P0 is the pole of J2000 equator, and P is the pole of the equator at date t; if G0 is the equinox of J2000 and G is the equinox at date t:

  zetaa : angle between the meridians (pole P0) P0-P and P0-G0

  thetaa: angle between the equateur J2000 and the equateur t

  za : angle between the meridians (pole P) P-P0 and P-G

Parameters

K :

[zetaa;tetaa;za] (3xN)

KP :

flag :

(optional) "n" -> matrix only; "p" -> matrix and rotation vector; "s" -> matrix, rotation vector and its time derivatives (defatul depends on number of outputs)
