TimeDateFormatReal NumberTime.
Apparent GHAAngleUnitReal NumberThe sidereal Greenwich Hour Angle (GHA) that includes equation of the equinox.
Mean GHA 0hUTCAngleUnitReal NumberThe sidereal Greenwich Hour Angle (GHA) at 0 in Universal Time of input day. The angle does not include equation of the equinox.
Mean GHAAngleUnitReal NumberThe sidereal Greenwich Hour Angle (GHA) that does not include equation of the equinox.
MeanObliquityAngleUnitReal NumberObliquity of the ecliptic plane that does not include the effect of the nutation.
TrueObliquityAngleUnitReal NumberObliquity of the ecliptic plane that includes the effect of the nutation.
UT1-UTCTimeUnitReal NumberThe difference between Universal Time (UT1) and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
EqnOfEquinoxAngleUnitReal NumberThe effect of the nutation on the Right Ascension of the equinox.
MJDUnitlessReal NumberModified Julian Date (UTC time scale).
Nut. in ObliquityAngleUnitReal NumberThe effect of the nutation on the obliquity of the ecliptic plane.
Nut. in LongitudeAngleUnitReal NumberThe effect of the nutation on the celestial longitude.
Pole Wander XAngleUnitReal NumberSmall angle related to changes in orientation of the earth pole due to continental drift.
Pole Wander YAngleUnitReal NumberSmall angle related to changes in orientation of the earth pole due to continental drift.
Apparent GHA withUT1UTCAngleUnitReal NumberThe sidereal Greenwich Hour Angle (GHA) that accounts for the difference between UT1 and UTC time scales and includes equation of the equinox.
Mean GHA withUT1UTCAngleUnitReal NumberThe sidereal Greenwich Hour Angle (GHA) that accounts for the difference between UT1 and UTC time scales, but does not include equation of the equinox.
EqnOfTimeTimeUnitReal NumberThe difference between the apparent and mean solar times.
Solar DeclinationAngleUnitReal NumberDeclination of the sun in the earth centered J2000 coordinate system.
Solar Right AscensionLongitudeUnitReal NumberRight Ascension of the sun in the earth centered J2000 coordinate system.
