Coordinate Frames
J2000 | -- mean equator and equinox at J2000.0 (FK5) |
JNAT | -- geocentric natural frame |
JMEAN | -- mean equator and equinox at frame epoch |
JTRUE | -- true equator and equinox at frame epoch |
APP | -- apparent geocentric position |
B1950 | -- mean epoch and ecliptic at B1950.0. The epoch is taken from the frame epoch; or from the aipsrc variable measures.b1950.d_epoch; or has default 2000.0 |
B1950_VLA | -- mean epoch(1979.9)) and ecliptic at B1950.0 |
BMEAN | -- mean equator and equinox at frame epoch |
BTRUE | -- true equator and equinox at frame epoch |
GALACTIC | -- galactic coordinates |
HADEC | -- topocentric HA and declination |
AZEL | -- topocentric Azimuth and Elevation (N through E) |
AZELSW | -- topocentric Azimuth and Elevation (S through W) |
AZELNE | -- topocentric Azimuth and Elevation (N through E) |
AZELGEO | -- geodetic Azimuth and Elevation (N through E) |
AZELSWGEO | -- geodetic Azimuth and Elevation (S through W) |
AZELNEGEO | -- geodetic Azimuth and Elevation (N through E) |
ECLIPTC | -- ecliptic for J2000 equator and equinox |
MECLIPTIC | -- ecliptic for mean equator of date |
TECLIPTIC | -- ecliptic for true equator of date |
SUPERGAL | -- supergalactic coordinates |
