SunCentralBody Constructor

You should generally obtain an instance of this class from the CentralBodiesFacet instance in the calculation context instead of creating one directly.

Examples

SunCentralBody sun = CentralBodiesFacet.GetFromContext().Sun;

A default-constructed instance of SunCentralBody has the following characteristics:

• The CenterOfMassPoint is defined to be at the solar system barycenter. Consider using UseForCentralBodyPositions(CentralBodiesFacet) to configure this and other central bodies with a much more accurate model of their positions using JPL DE data.
• The Shape is spherical by default with MeanSolarRadius2015IauResolutionB3 as the radius.
• The InertialFrame uses the J2000 axes.
• The FixedFrame and PrincipalFrame use the IAU/IAG working group 2006 report. See Iau2006Orientation.
