Detailed Description

Earth Orientation Parameters (EOP), for defining the unmodelled (via the IAU 2000 / 2006 precession-nutation models) polar motion and rotational variations of the physical Earth.

EOP are necessary to transform between pseudo Earth-fixed (e.g. the Terrestrial Intermediate Reference System [TIRS]) and the Earth-fixed International Terrestrial Reference System (ITRS). They are essential for precise calculations for Earth-based observers.

IERS publishes daily Earth orientation data, in various ITRF realizations. For the utmost accuracy (below the mas-level), these must be further corrected for diurnal variations caused by librarion and the oceans tides, which is something that SuperNOVAS does automatically when defining astrometric time or an observing frame with the interpolated published EOP values.

◆ e_tilt()

int e_tilt	(	double	jd_tdb,
		enum novas_accuracy	accuracy,
		double *restrict	mobl,
		double *restrict	tobl,
		double *restrict	ee,
		double *restrict	dpsi,
		double *restrict	deps )

(primarily for internal use) Computes quantities related to the orientation of the Earth's rotation axis at the specified Julian date.

In the pre-IAU2000 method, unmodelled corrections to earth orientation can be defined via cel_pole() prior to this call. However, we strongly recommend against that approach, and suggest you apply Earth orientation corrections only in novas_make_frame() or wobble().

NOTES:

This function caches the results of the last calculation in case it may be re-used at no extra computational cost for the next call.

Parameters

	jd_tdb	[day] Barycentric Dynamical Time (TDB) based Julian date.
	accuracy	NOVAS_FULL_ACCURACY (0) or NOVAS_REDUCED_ACCURACY (1)
[out]	mobl	[deg] Mean obliquity of the ecliptic. It may be NULL if not required.
[out]	tobl	[deg] True obliquity of the ecliptic. It may be NULL if not required.
[out]	ee	[s] Equation of the equinoxes in seconds of time. It may be NULL if not required.

◆ era()

double era	(	double	jd_ut1_high,
		double	jd_ut1_low )

Returns the value of the Earth Rotation Angle (θ) for a given UT1 Julian date.

The expression used is taken from the note to IAU Resolution B1.8 of 2000. The input Julian date can be split into an into high and low order parts (e.g. integer and fractional parts) for improved accuracy, or else one of the components (e.g. the low part) can be set to zero if no split is desired.

The algorithm used here is equivalent to the canonical θ = 0.7790572732640 + 1.00273781191135448 * t, where t is the time in days from J2000 (t = jd_high + jd_low - JD_J2000), but it avoids many two-PI 'wraps' that decrease precision (adopted from SOFA Fortran routine iau_era00).

◆ iau2000a()

		double *restrict	deps )

Computes the IAU 2000A high-precision nutation series for the specified date, to 0.1 μas accuracy.

It is rather expensive computationally.

NOTES:

As of SuperNOVAS v1.4.2, this function has been modified to replace the original IAU2000A model coefficients with the IAU2006 (a.k.a. IAU2000A R06) model coefficients, to provide an updated nutation model, which is dynamically consistent with the IAU2006 (P03) precesion model of Capitaine et al. 2003. This is now the same model with respect to which the IERS Earth orinetation parameters are computed and published.

Parameters

	jd_tt_high	[day] High-order part of the Terrestrial Time (TT) based Julian date. Typically it may be the integer part of a split date for the highest precision, or the full date for normal (reduced) precision.

◆ iau2000b()

int iau2000b	(	double	jd_tt_high,
		double	jd_tt_low,
		double *restrict	dpsi,
		double *restrict	deps )

Computes the forced nutation of the non-rigid Earth based at reduced precision.

It reproduces the IAU 2000A (R06) model to a precision of 1 milliarcsecond in the interval 1995-2020, while being about 15x faster than iau2000a().

NOTES

Originally this was the IAU2000B series of McCarthy & Luzum (2003), consistent with the original IAU2000 precession model
As of SuperNOVAS v1.4.2, this function has been modified to use a truncated series for the IAU2006 (a.k.a. IAU 2000A R06) nutation model, whereby terms with amplitudes larger than 100 μas are omitted, resulting in 102 terms for the longitude and 57 terms the obliquity. This results in similar, or slightly better, precision than the original IAU2000B series of McCarthy & Luzum (2003), and it is now dynamically consistent with the IAU2006 (P03) precession model (Capitaine et al. 2005).

Parameters

◆ novas_diurnal_eop()

int novas_diurnal_eop	(	double	gmst,
		const novas_delaunay_args *restrict	delaunay,
		double *restrict	dxp,
		double *restrict	dyp,
		double *restrict	dut1 )

Calculate corrections to the Earth orientation parameters (EOP) due to short term (diurnal and semidiurnal) libration and the ocean tides.

See Chapters 5 and 8 of the IERS Conventions. This one is faster than novas_diurnal_eop_at_time() if the GMST and/or fundamental arguments are readily avaialbe, e.g. from a previous calculation.

These corrections are typically at the sub-milliarcsecond level in polar offsets x and y and sub-millisecond level in UT1. Thus, these diurnal and semi-diurnal variations are important for the highest precision astrometry only, when converting between ITRS and TIRS frames.

NOTES:

These diurnal corrections are automatically added to the mean Earth Orinetation parameters used when defining astronomical times and observing frames. I.e., you should pass mean values to the likes of novas_set_time() and novas_make_frame(), which will then add the diurnal corrections as appropriate automatically.

◆ novas_diurnal_libration()

int novas_diurnal_libration	(	double	gmst,
		const novas_delaunay_args *restrict	delaunay,
		double *restrict	dxp,
		double *restrict	dyp,
		double *restrict	dut1 )

Calculate diurnal and semi-diurnal libration corrections to the Earth orientation parameters (EOP) for the non-rigid Earth.

Only terms with periods less than 2 days are considered, since the longer period terms are included in the IAU2000A nutation model. See Chapter 5 of the IERS Conventions 2010. The typical amplitude of librations is tens of micro-arcseconds (μas) in polar offsets x and y and tens of micro-seconds in UT1.

Normally, you would need the combined effect from librations and ocean tides together to apply diurnal corrections to the Earth orientation parameters (EOP) published by IERS. For that, novas_diurnal_eop() or novas_diurnal_eop_at_time() is more directly suited.

◆ novas_fetch_eop()

int novas_fetch_eop	(	double	jd,
		long	timeout_millis,
		novas_eop *	eop )

Obtains interpolated Earth Orientation Parameter data from the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS).

For dates since 1972 or for prediction for up to a year ahead, the rapid service data is used (finals.all), otherwise for dates after 1962 the C04 series is used, and for dates all the way back to 1846, the C01 series is used. All of the mentioned data are retrieved relative to the IAU2000 precession-nutation model.

You should always check the return status when using this function, since the fetching of EOP values may fail for a host of different reasons.

NOTES:

You must have built SuperNOVAS with cURL support. Otherwise, this function will return -1, with errno set to ENOSYS.
You will need an internet connection and the IERS server must be online and accessible, unless you have changed the necessary URLs to use local copies instead (see novas_set_eop_url()).
Obtaining values from IERS can have arbitrary latencies, and can impact the performance severely. For performance critical applications, you should consider specifying the EOP values more directly, or using local files instead (see also novas_set_eop_url()).
This function assumes that the files served from IERS remain accessible and their format does not change over time. As such what works today, may not work the same in the future.
This function caches EOP data from the last query. As such repeated calls within the same date bracket (typically the same MJD day) will return fast and will interpolate from the data last obtained from the IERS.
This function uses cubic spline interpolation around the published data points. As such, it needs at least two data points at the same time or before, and two points after, the date for which interpolated values are requested.
Prior to 1 Jan 1956, the UT1-UTC time difference, and length-of-day (LOD) are not provided by IERS, as they were not measured prior to the age of atomic clocks. Hence, for dates prior to 1956 the returned EOP will have dut1 and lod (and their uncertainties) set to NAN. (However, the polar the offsets x_p and y_p can be provided all the way back to 1846, with some precision.)
If SuperNOVAS was built without cURL support (WITHOUT_CURL or WITHOUT_LIBC build configuration options), then this function will return an error (errno set to ENOSYS).

Parameters

	jd	Julian Date (in any timescale, with a preference for UTC)
	timeout_millis	[ms] HTTP connection timeout, or <=0 to leave unchanged.
[out]	eop	Output EOP data structure to populate

Returns: 0 if successful or else -1 (errno will indicate the type of error).

◆ novas_fetch_eop_unix()

int novas_fetch_eop_unix	(	time_t	t,
		long	timeout_millis,
		novas_eop *	eop )

Obtains interpolated Earth Orientation Parameter data from the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS) around the current system time, using the rapid service data (finals.all).

You should always check the return status when using this function, since the fetching of EOP values may fail for a host of different reasons.

NOTES:

You must have access to the curl library and built SuperNOVAS with CURL support. Otherwise this function will return -1, with errno set to ENOSYS.
You will need an internet connection and the IERS server must be online and accessible (at least for the initial call).
Obtaining values from IERS can have arbitrary latencies, and can impact performance severely. For performance critical applications, you should consider specifying the EOP values more directly, e.g. from a local file instead.
This function assumes that the files served from IERS remain accessible and their format does not change over time.
This function caches EOP data from the last online query. As such repeated calls within the same data bracket (typically the same MJD day) will return fast and will reuse the last data obtained from the IERS.
This function uses cubic spline interpolation of the published data points.
The returned EOP values are assumed to be ITRF 2020 values, which is appropriate at the time this SuperNOVAS module was written or last updated. If IERS later publishes data in some other future ITRF realization, this module may need to be updated, accordingly. However, the ITRF realization is unlikely to matter significantly.
If SuperNOVAS was built without cURL support (WITHOUT_CURL or WITHOUT_LIBC build configuration options), then this function will return an error (errno set to ENOSYS).

Parameters

	t	[s] UNIX time (seconds since 0 UTC 1 Jan 1970).
	timeout_millis	[ms] HTTP connection timeout, or <=0 to leave unchanged.
[out]	eop	Output EOP data structure to populate

Returns: 0 if successful or else -1 (errno will indicate the type of error).

◆ novas_lookup_leap()

int novas_lookup_leap ( time_t t )

Returns the leap seconds for the given UNIX timestamp, based either on a locally supplied leap seconds list (see novas_set_leap_list()), or else from data obtained as needed from IERS (provided that fetching it is allowed).

In case of errors -1 is returned, with errno set as appropriate.

Leap seconds were first introduced on 1 Jan 1972. Thus for date preceding the introduction, 0 is returned. Leap seconds prognosis into the future is available only up to the expiration date of the leap-seconds.list file (as supplied or updated from IERS).

NOTES:

If SuperNOVAS was built without libc support (WITHOUT_LIBC build configuration option), then this function will always return an error (errno set to ENOSYS).

Parameters

t	[s] UNIX time (seconds since 0 UTC, 1 Jan 1970)

Returns: The leap seconds for the given time, or NOVAS_INVALID_LEAP (-999) if there was an error (errno will indicate the type of error).

◆ novas_reset_eop()

void novas_reset_eop ( )

Releases resources used by URL handles used for obtaining Earth Orientation Parameter (EOP) data from the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS), including the leap seconds list supplied earlier or obtained from IERS.

It also discards any custom URLs that may have been set previously, and restores the default IERS URLs for obtaining leap seconds and EOP from IERS. The cleanup performed by this function is automatic at normal program exit, but users may call it explicitly restore the initial state at any point.

NOTES:

This call does not affect or destroy any thread-local data currently cached. As such, novas_fetch_eop() may continue to return EOP using the previously cached values, if the requested date falls within the same data bracket as the last call.
This call is not thread-safe. You should avoid calling it from concurrent threads if you want it to have predictable behavior.

Since: 1.7

Author: Attila Kovacs

See also: novas_set_leap_list(), novas_fetch_eop()

◆ novas_set_auto_fetch_eop()

int novas_set_auto_fetch_eop ( int enabled )

Disable or Re-enabled the automatic fetching of Earth Orientation Parameter values from IERS, when these are left undefined (NAN) when initializing astrometric time or observing frame instances.

If set to TRUE (non-zero) then when an astrometric time is initialized with an undefined EOP, whose dUT1 value is NAN, it will automatically fetch appropriate leap second and dUT1 values from IERS, if possible. Similarly, if an observing frame is configured with a x_p or y_p values are NAN, the frame will fetch appropriate polar offsets from IERS for the time of observation.

The default value of this global setting is TRUE (1), hence the automatic fetching of EOP values from IERS is enabled by default, and will override NAN EOP values with the fetched interpolated data, whenever possible.

If you do not want this behavior, e.g. because of the associated arbitrary latencies involved with getting data from IERS, or because you are using SuperNOVAS offline, then simply call this function with FALSE (0) to disable the automatic fetching of EOP values.

NOTES:

If SuperNOVAS was built without cURL support (WITHOUT_CURL or WITHOUT_LIBC build configuration options), then this function will return an error (errno set to ENOSYS) if trying to enable EOP fetching.
This call is not thread-safe. You should avoid calling it from concurrent threads if you want it to have predictable behavior.

Parameters

enabled TRUE (non-zero) to enabled automatic fetching of EOP values from IERS, or else FALSE (0) to disable. By default EOP fetching is enabled.

◆ novas_set_eop_url()

int novas_set_eop_url	(	enum novas_eop_series	series,
		int	itrf_year,
		const char *	url )

Specify a URL to use for a given IERS Earth Orientation Parameter (EOP) series.

By default, novas_fetch_eop() will use the standard IERS data center URLs to obtain EOP, but users may want to use a local file, or a local mirror instead for faster, more reliable source(s) for the IERS data. This function allows you to do just that.

This call will check out the specified URL, to ensure it points to a suitable file for the series, and will return an error if the file is not appropriate. As such, the call may be delayed for a long time, while cURL fetches a few kilobytes from the file, needed for validation.

NOTES:

Requires SuperNOVAS to be compiled with cURL support enabled, otherwise -1 is returned with errno set to ENOSYS.
This call is not thread-safe. You should avoid calling it from concurrent threads if you want it to have predictable behavior.

Parameters

series	The EOP series identifier constant.
itrf_year	[yr] ITRF realization year. Needed only for precision at the few μas level, otherwise, you can set it to something recent, like 2020. It is unused if the URL is NULL, or if the series if the leap seconds list. For years prior to the first ITRF realization (in 1988), 1988 will be used.
url	The new URL to use for the given data series, or NULL to use the default IERS data center URL.

Returns: 0 if successful, or else -1 if there was an error (errno will be set to ERANGE if the series is invalid, EINVAL if the URL is an empty string, or ENOSYS if SuperNOVAS was built without cURL support).

◆ novas_set_leap_list()

int novas_set_leap_list ( const char * filename )

Specifies a local file containing the official leap seconds list, i.e.

leap-seconds.list, to use, at least until its expiry. (If the local leap file expires, a new one will be fetched from IERS as needed).

It is similar to novas_set_eop_url() for the EOP_LEAP_LIST series, with a file:// type URL, except that this one does not need cURL support, and can work with relative paths also.

NOTES:

If SuperNOVAS was built without libc support (WITHOUT_LIBC build configuration option), then this function will always return an error (errno set to ENOSYS).
This call is not thread-safe. You should avoid calling it from concurrent threads if you want it to have predictable behavior.

Parameters

filename Path to a local leap-seconds.list file (as obtained from IERS or a mirror). It is typically included in the tzdata package on Linux, where it may be found as /usr/share/zoneinfo/leap-seconds.list typically. Or, NULL to clean up any prior leap seconds resources.

Returns: 0 if successful, or else -1 if there was an error (errno will indicate the type of error).

◆ novas_time_gst()

double novas_time_gst	(	const novas_timespec *restrict	time,
		enum novas_accuracy	accuracy )

Returns the Greenwich (apparent) Sidereal Time (GST/GaST) for a given astronomical time specification.

If you need mean sidereal time (GMST), you should use sidereal_time() instead.

Parameters

time	The astronomical time specification.
accuracy	NOVAS_FULL_ACCURACY (0) or NOVAS_REDUCED_ACCURACY (1).

Returns: [h] The Greenwich apparent Sidereal Time (GST / GaST) in the [0:24) hour range, or else NAN if there was an error (errno will indicate the type of error).

◆ nu2000k()

int nu2000k	(	double	jd_tt_high,
		double	jd_tt_low,
		double *restrict	dpsi,
		double *restrict	deps )

Computes the forced nutation of the non-rigid Earth: Model NU2000K.

This model is a modified version of the original IAU 2000A, which has been truncated for speed of execution. NU2000K agrees with IAU 2000A at the 0.1 milliarcsecond level from 1700 to 2300, while being is about 5x faster than the more precise iau2000a().

NU2000K was compared to IAU 2000A over six centuries (1700-2300). The average error in dψ is 20 microarcseconds, with 98% of the errors < 60 microarcseconds; the average error in dεis 8 microarcseconds, with 100% of the errors < 60 microarcseconds.

NU2000K was developed by G. Kaplan (USNO) in March 2004

NOTES:

As of SuperNOVAS v1.4.2, this function has been modified to include a rescaling of the original IAU2000 nutation compatible values to 'IAU2006' (i.e. IAU2000A R06) compatible values, according to Coppola, Seago, and Vallado (2009). The rescaling makes this model more dynamically consistent with the IAU2006 (P03) precession model of Capitaine et al. (2003).

		enum novas_nutation_direction	direction,
		enum novas_accuracy	accuracy,
		const double *	in,
		double *	out )

Nutates equatorial rectangular coordinates from mean equator and equinox of epoch to true equator and equinox of epoch.

Inverse transformation may be applied by setting flag 'direction'.

This is the old (pre IAU 2006) method of nutation calculation. If you follow the now standard IAU 2000 / 2006 methodology you will want to use nutation_angles() instead.

Parameters

	jd_tdb	[day] Barycentric Dynamic Time (TDB) based Julian date
	direction	NUTATE_MEAN_TO_TRUE (0) or NUTATE_TRUE_TO_MEAN (-1; or non-zero)
	accuracy	NOVAS_FULL_ACCURACY (0) or NOVAS_REDUCED_ACCURACY (1)
	in	Position 3-vector, geocentric equatorial rectangular coordinates, referred to mean equator and equinox of epoch.

		double *restrict	deps )

Returns the IAU2000 / 2006 values for nutation in longitude and nutation in obliquity for a given TDB Julian date and the desired level of accuracy.

For NOVAS_FULL_ACCURACY (0), the IAU 2000A R06 nutation model is used. Otherwise, the model set by set_nutation_lp_provider() is used, or else the iau2000b() by default.

◆ precession()

short precession	(	double	jd_tdb_in,
		const double *	in,
		double	jd_tdb_out,
		double *	out )

Precesses equatorial rectangular coordinates from one epoch to another using the IAU2006 (P03) precession model of Capitaine et al.

2003.

NOTES:

Unlike the original NOVAS C 3.1 version, this one does not require that one of the time arguments must be J2000. You can precess from any date to any other date, and the intermediate epoch of J2000 will be handled internally as needed.
This function caches the results of the last calculation in case it may be re-used at no extra computational cost for the next call.

int set_nutation_lp_provider ( novas_nutation_provider func )

Set the function to use for low-precision IAU 2000 nutation calculations instead of the default nu2000k().

Parameters

func	the new function to use for low-precision IAU 2000 nutation calculations

Returns: 0 if successful, or -1 if the input argument is NULL

Since: 1.0

◆ terra()

int terra	(	const on_surface *restrict	location,
		double	gast,
		double *restrict	pos,
		double *restrict	vel )

Computes the position and velocity vectors of a terrestrial observer with respect to the center of the Earth, based on the GRS80 reference ellipsoid, used for the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF) and its realizations.

This function ignores polar motion, unless the observer's longitude and latitude have been corrected for it, and variation in the length of day (angular velocity of earth).

The true equator and equinox of date do not form an inertial system. Therefore, with respect to an inertial system, the very small velocity component (several meters/day) due to the precession and nutation of the Earth's axis is not accounted for here.

Parameters

	location	ITRF / GRS80 geodetic location of observer in Earth's rotating frame.
	gast	[h] Greenwich apparent sidereal time (GAST). If set to 0, it returns positions and velocities w.r.t. the ITRS.
[out]	pos	[AU] Position vector of observer with respect to center of Earth, equatorial rectangular coordinates, referred to true equator and equinox of date, components in AU. If reference meridian is Greenwich and 'lst' = 0, 'pos' is effectively referred to equator and Greenwich. (It may be NULL if no position data is required).
[out]	vel	[AU/day] Velocity vector of observer with respect to center of Earth, equatorial rectangular coordinates, referred to true equator and equinox of date, components in AU/day. (It must be distinct from the pos output vector, and may be NULL if no velocity data is required).

Returns: 0 if successful, or -1 if location is NULL or if the pos and vel output arguments are identical pointers.
