Rotation Matrix from EQD to EQJ

Calculates a rotation matrix from equatorial of-date (EQD) to J2000 mean equator (EQJ).

Usage

astro_rotation_EQD_EQJ(time)

Arguments

time

A POSIXct object representing the date and time at which the Earth's equator defines the source orientation.

Value

A rotation matrix that converts EQD to EQJ.

Details

This is one of the family of functions that returns a rotation matrix for converting from one orientation to another.

Source: EQD = equatorial system, using equator of the specified date/time.

Target: EQJ = equatorial system, using mean equator at J2000 epoch.
