PRO co_aberration, jd, ra, dec, d_ra, d_dec, eps=eps ;+ ; NAME: ; CO_ABERRATION ; PURPOSE: ; Calculate changes to Ra and Dec due to "the effect of aberration", ; EXPLANATION: ; as described in Meeus, Chap 23. ; CALLING SEQUENCE: ; co_aberration, jd, ra, dec, d_ra, d_dec, [EPS = ] ; INPUTS ; jd : Julian Date [scalar or vector] ; ra, dec : Arrays (or scalars) of the ra and dec's in degrees ; Note: if jd is a vector, ra and dec MUST be vectors of the same length. ; ; OUTPUTS ; d_ra, d_dec: the corrections to ra and dec due to aberration (must then ; be added to ra and dec to get corrected values). ; OPTIONAL INPUT KEYWORD: ; eps : set this to the true obliquity of the ecliptic (in radians), or ; it will be set for you if you don't know it (in that case, set it to ; an empty variable). ; EXAMPLE: ; Compute the change in RA and Dec of Theta Persei (RA = 2h46m,11.331s, Dec = ; 49d20',54.54" on 2028 Nov 13.19 TD ; ; IDL> jdcnv,2028,11,13,.19*24,jd ;Get Julian date ; IDL> co_aberration,jd,ten(2,46,11.331)*15,ten(49,20,54.54),d_ra,d_dec ; ; ==> d_ra = 30.045" d_dec = 6.697" ; NOTES: ; These formula are from Meeus, Chapters 23.
