SOFA Methods

The SOFA type exposes the following members.

Methods
 NameDescription
Public methodAf2a Convert degrees, arcminutes, arcseconds to radians.
Public methodAnp Normalize angle into the range 0 <= a < 2pi.
Public methodCelestialToIntermediate Transform ICRS star data, epoch J2000.0, to CIRS using the SOFA Atci13 function.
Public methodCelestialToObserved ICRS RA,Dec to observed place using the SOFA Atco13 function.
Public methodDispose Cleans up the SOFA object
Public methodDtf2d Encode date and time fields into 2-part Julian Date (or in the case of UTC a quasi-JD form that includes special provision for leap seconds).
Public methodEo06a Equation of the origins, IAU 2006 precession and IAU 2000A nutation.
Public methodHd2ae Transform hour angle and declination to azimuth And altitude.
Public methodIntermediateToCelestial Transform star RA,Dec from geocentric CIRS to ICRS astrometric using the SOFA Atic13 function.
Public methodIntermediateToObserved CIRS RA,Dec to observed place using the SOFA Atio13 funciton.
Public methodIr Initialize an r−matrix to the identity matrix.
Public methodObservedToCelestial Observed place at a groundbased site to to ICRS astrometric RA,Dec using the SOFA Atoc13 function.
Public methodObservedToIntermediate Observed place to CIRS using the SOFA Atoi13 function.
