Expand description

Quick astrometric ICRS −> CIRS

Quick ICRS to CIRS transformation, given precomputed star- independent astrometry parameters, and assuming zero parallax and proper motion.

Use of this function is appropriate when efficiency is important and where many star positions are to be transformed for one date. The star-independent parameters can be obtained by calling one of the functions iauApci[13], iauApcg[13], iauApco[13] or iauApcs[13].

The corresponding function for the case of non-zero parallax and proper motion is iauAtciq.

This function is part of the International Astronomical Union’s SOFA (Standards of Fundamental Astronomy) software collection.

Status: support function.
