Method Detail

computeSun

@Nonnull
public static IauOrientationParameters computeSun(@Nonnull
                                                            JulianDate date)

Compute the IauOrientationParameters for the Sun.

Parameters:

date - The date to evaluate the parameters.

Returns:

The IauOrientationParameters representing the orientation of the Sun.

computeMoon

@Nonnull
public static IauOrientationParameters computeMoon(@Nonnull
                                                             JulianDate date)

Compute the IauOrientationParameters for the Moon. The IAU 2015 report did not provide orientation formulae because they are only accurate to approximately 150 m. This class will provide the orientation parameters from the 2009 report. For higher fidelity, consider using a lunar ephemeris, such as JplDE, and deriving orientation.

Parameters:

date - The date to evaluate the parameters.

Returns:

The IauOrientationParameters representing the orientation of Earth's Moon.

computeMercury

@Nonnull
public static IauOrientationParameters computeMercury(@Nonnull
                                                                JulianDate date)

Compute the IauOrientationParameters for Mercury.

Parameters:

date - The date to evaluate the parameters.

Returns:

The IauOrientationParameters representing the orientation of Mercury.

computeVenus

@Nonnull
public static IauOrientationParameters computeVenus(@Nonnull
                                                              JulianDate date)

Compute the IauOrientationParameters for Venus.

Parameters:

date - The date to evaluate the parameters.

Returns:

The IauOrientationParameters representing the orientation of Venus.
