SLA_H2FK5

Hipparcos to FK5

ACTION:
Transform a Hipparcos star position and proper motion into the FK5 (J2000) frame.
CALL:
CALL sla_H2FK5 (RH, DH, DRH, DDH, R5, D5, DR5, DD5)
GIVEN:

RH

D

Hipparcos α (radians)

DH

D

Hipparcos δ (radians)

DRH

D

Hipparcos proper motion in α (radians per Julian year)

DDH

D

Hipparcos proper motion in δ (radians per Julian year)


RETURNED:

R5

D

J2000.0 FK5 α (radians)

D5

D

J2000.0 FK5 δ (radians)

DR5

D

J2000.0 FK5 proper motion in α (radians per Julian year)

DD5

D

FK5 J2000.0 proper motion in δ (radians per Julian year)


NOTES:
(1)
The α proper motions are α̇ rather than α̇ cos δ, and are per year rather than per century.
(2)
The FK5 to Hipparcos transformation consists of a pure rotation and spin; zonal errors in the FK5 catalogue are not taken into account.
(3)
The adopted epoch J2000.0 FK5 to Hipparcos orientation and spin values are as follows (see reference):

            

orientation
   spin   
x − 19.9       − 0.30  
y − 9.1       + 0.60  
z + 22.9       + 0.70  
mas       mas/y 

These orientation and spin components are interpreted as axial vectors. An axial vector points at the pole of the rotation and its length is the amount of rotation in radians.
