Detailed Description

Author

G. Kaplan and A. Kovacs

SuperNOVAS header for numerical constants that used to be used internally in novas.c.

Deprecated:

Use your own version for the selection of the constant you need, expressed in whatever units your application desires. We should not force you to adopt the internally used convention of NOVAS, not to mention the high chance of namespace conflicts with the super-simplistic naming scheme here. You are better off without this.

Based on the NOVAS C Edition, Version 3.1:

Variable Documentation

ANGVEL

const double ANGVEL

extern

Deprecated:

Rotational angular velocity of Earth in radians/sec from IERS Conventions (2003). Use NOVAS_EARTH_ANGVEL instead

AU

const double AU

extern

Deprecated:

Astronomical unit in meters. Use NOVAS_AU instead.

AU_KM

const double AU_KM

extern

Deprecated:

Astronomical Unit in kilometers. Use NOVAS AU_KM instead.

AU_SEC

const double AU_SEC

extern

Deprecated:

Light-time for one astronomical unit (AU) in seconds, from DE-405. Use NOVAS_AU_SEC instead.

C

const double C

extern

Deprecated:

Speed of light in meters/second is a defining physical constant. Use NOVAS_C instead.

C_AUDAY

const double C_AUDAY

extern

Deprecated:

Speed of light in AU/day. Use NOVAS_AUDAY instead.

ERAD

const double ERAD

extern

Deprecated:

Radius of Earth in kilometers from IERS Conventions (2003). Use NOVAS_EARTH_RADIUS instead

F

const double F

extern

Deprecated:

Earth ellipsoid flattening from IERS Conventions (2003). Value is 1 / 298.25642. Use NOVAS_EARTH_FLATTENING instead.

FN0

const short FN0

extern

Deprecated:

Definition was already ommitted in NOVAS C 3.1.

FN1

const short FN1

extern

Deprecated:

Definition was already ommitted in NOVAS C 3.1.

GE

const double GE

extern

Deprecated:

Geocentric gravitational constant in meters^3 / second^2, from DE-405. Use NOVAS_G_EARTH instead.

GS

const double GS

extern

Deprecated:

Heliocentric gravitational constant in meters^3 / second^2, from DE-405. Use NOVAS_G_SUN instead.

RMASS

const double RMASS[12]

extern

Reciprocal masses of solar system bodies, from DE-405 (Sun mass / body mass). MASS[0] = Earth/Moon barycenter, MASS[1] = Mercury, ..., MASS[9] = Pluto, MASS[10] = Sun, MASS[11] = Moon. Use NOVAS_RMASS_INIT instead.

T0

const double T0

extern

Deprecated:

TDB Julian date of epoch J2000.0. Use NOVAS_JD_J2000 instead.
