Etymology

SolarPos from Solar Position

Synopsis

SolarPos forms the class for Solar Position calculations. It is a simple container with the selected method, and the mean epoch.
The method is selected from one of the following:

Epochs can be specified as the MJD (with defined constants MeasData::MJD2000 and MeasData::MJDB1950 or the actual MJD), leading to the following constructors:

Actual SolarPos for a certain Epoch is calculated by the () operator as SolarPos(epoch), with epoch Double MJD, as an MVPosition vector.
It returns the geocentric position of the heliocentre in rectangular coordinates in AU.
The derivative (d-1) can be obtained as well by derivative(epoch), baryEarthDerivative() and barySunDerivative().
The Earth's and solar barycentric position can be obtained by the members baryEarth and barySun. The following details can be set with the Aipsrc mechanism:

Reference: M. Soma et al., Cel. Mech. 41 (1988), 389; E.M. Standish, Astron. Astroph. 114 (1982), 297.

Example

Motivation

To calculate the solar/Earth positions for gravitational deflection. An alternate route could have been a global function, but having a simple container allows caching of some calculations for speed.
Using MJD (JD-2400000.5) rather than JD is for precision reasons.
