use crate::;
/// Convert star catalog coordinates to position+velocity vector.
///
/// This function is part of the International Astronomical Union's
/// SOFA (Standards of Fundamental Astronomy) software collection.
///
/// Status: support function.
///
/// Given (Note 1):
/// ra double right ascension (radians)
/// dec double declination (radians)
/// pmr double RA proper motion (radians/year)
/// pmd double Dec proper motion (radians/year)
/// px double parallax (arcseconds)
/// rv double radial velocity (km/s, positive = receding)
///
/// Returned (Note 2):
/// pv double[2][3] pv-vector (au, au/day)
///
/// Returned (function value):
/// int status:
/// 0 = no warnings
/// 1 = distance overridden (Note 6)
/// 2 = excessive speed (Note 7)
/// 4 = solution didn't converge (Note 8)
/// else = binary logical OR of the above
///
/// Notes:
///
/// 1) The star data accepted by this function are "observables" for an
/// imaginary observer at the solar-system barycenter. Proper motion
/// and radial velocity are, strictly, in terms of barycentric
/// coordinate time, TCB. For most practical applications, it is
/// permissible to neglect the distinction between TCB and ordinary
/// "proper" time on Earth (TT/TAI). The result will, as a rule, be
/// limited by the intrinsic accuracy of the proper-motion and
/// radial-velocity data; moreover, the pv-vector is likely to be
/// merely an intermediate result, so that a change of time unit
/// would cancel out overall.
///
/// In accordance with normal star-catalog conventions, the object's
/// right ascension and declination are freed from the effects of
/// secular aberration. The frame, which is aligned to the catalog
/// equator and equinox, is Lorentzian and centered on the SSB.
///
/// 2) The resulting position and velocity pv-vector is with respect to
/// the same frame and, like the catalog coordinates, is freed from
/// the effects of secular aberration. Should the "coordinate
/// direction", where the object was located at the catalog epoch, be
/// required, it may be obtained by calculating the magnitude of the
/// position vector pv[0][0-2] dividing by the speed of light in
/// au/day to give the light-time, and then multiplying the space
/// velocity pv[1][0-2] by this light-time and adding the result to
/// pv[0][0-2].
///
/// Summarizing, the pv-vector returned is for most stars almost
/// identical to the result of applying the standard geometrical
/// "space motion" transformation. The differences, which are the
/// subject of the Stumpff paper referenced below, are:
///
/// (i) In stars with significant radial velocity and proper motion,
/// the constantly changing light-time distorts the apparent proper
/// motion. Note that this is a classical, not a relativistic,
/// effect.
///
/// (ii) The transformation complies with special relativity.
///
/// 3) Care is needed with units. The star coordinates are in radians
/// and the proper motions in radians per Julian year, but the
/// parallax is in arcseconds; the radial velocity is in km/s, but
/// the pv-vector result is in au and au/day.
///
/// 4) The RA proper motion is in terms of coordinate angle, not true
/// angle. If the catalog uses arcseconds for both RA and Dec proper
/// motions, the RA proper motion will need to be divided by cos(Dec)
/// before use.
///
/// 5) Straight-line motion at constant speed, in the inertial frame,
/// is assumed.
///
/// 6) An extremely small (or zero or negative) parallax is interpreted
/// to mean that the object is on the "celestial sphere", the radius
/// of which is an arbitrary (large) value (see the constant PXMIN).
/// When the distance is overridden in this way, the status,
/// initially zero, has 1 added to it.
///
/// 7) If the space velocity is a significant fraction of c (see the
/// constant VMAX), it is arbitrarily set to zero. When this action
/// occurs, 2 is added to the status.
///
/// 8) The relativistic adjustment involves an iterative calculation.
/// If the process fails to converge within a set number (IMAX) of
/// iterations, 4 is added to the status.
///
/// 9) The inverse transformation is performed by the function
/// iauPvstar.
///
/// Called:
/// iauS2pv spherical coordinates to pv-vector
/// iauPm modulus of p-vector
/// iauZp zero p-vector
/// iauPn decompose p-vector into modulus and direction
/// iauPdp scalar product of two p-vectors
/// iauSxp multiply p-vector by scalar
/// iauPmp p-vector minus p-vector
