eraAtciqz

[ri, di] = ERFA.atciqz(rc, dc, astrom)

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 eraApci, eraApcg, eraApco or eraApcs.

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

Given:

   rc,dc  double     ICRS astrometric RA,Dec (radians)
   astrom ASTROM* star-independent astrometry parameters:
    pmt    double       PM time interval (SSB, Julian years)
    eb     double[3]    SSB to observer (vector, au)
    eh     double[3]    Sun to observer (unit vector)
    em     double       distance from Sun to observer (au)
    v      double[3]    barycentric observer velocity (vector, c)
    bm1    double       sqrt(1-|v|^2): reciprocal of Lorenz factor
    bpn    double[3][3] bias-precession-nutation matrix
    along  double       longitude + s' (radians)
    xpl    double       polar motion xp wrt local meridian (radians)
    ypl    double       polar motion yp wrt local meridian (radians)
    sphi   double       sine of geodetic latitude
    cphi   double       cosine of geodetic latitude
    diurab double       magnitude of diurnal aberration vector
    eral   double       "local" Earth rotation angle (radians)
    refa   double       refraction constant A (radians)
    refb   double       refraction constant B (radians)

Returned:

   ri,di  double     CIRS RA,Dec (radians)

Note:

   All the vectors are with respect to BCRS axes.
