pro PRECESS_CD, cd, epoch1, epoch2, crval_old, crval_new, FK4 = FK4 ;+ ; NAME: ; PRECESS_CD ; ; PURPOSE: ; Precess the CD (coordinate description) matrix from a FITS header ; EXPLANATION: ; The CD matrix is precessed from EPOCH1 to EPOCH2. Called by HPRECESS ; ; CALLING SEQUENCE: ; PRECESS_CD, cd, epoch1, epoch2, crval_old, crval_new, [/FK4] ; ; INPUTS/OUTPUT: ; CD - 2 x 2 CD (coordinate description) matrix in any units ; (degrees or radians). CD will altered on output to contain ; precessed values in the same units. On output CD will always ; be double precision no matter how input. ; ; INPUTS: ; EPOCH1 - Original equinox of coordinates, scalar (e.g. 1950.0). ; EPOCH2 - Equinox of precessed coordinates, scalar (e.g. 2000.0) ; CRVAL_OLD - 2 element vector containing RA and DEC in DEGREES ; of the reference pixel in the original equinox ; CRVAL_NEW - 2 elements vector giving CRVAL in the new equinox ; ; INPUT KEYWORD: ; /FK4 - If this keyword is set, then the precession constants are taken ; in the FK4 reference frame. The default is the FK5 frame. ; ; RESTRICTIONS: ; PRECESS_CD should not be used more than 2.5 centuries from the ; year 1900. ; ; PROCEDURE: ; Adapted from the STSDAS program FMATPREC. Precession changes the ; location of the north pole, and thus changes the rotation of ; an image from north up. This is reflected in the precession of the ; CD matrix. This is usually a very small change. ; ; PROCEDURE CALLS: ; PRECESS ; ; REVISION HISTORY: ; Written, Wayne Landsman, ST Systems February 1988 ; Fixed sign error in computation of SINRA March 1992 ; Added /FK4 keyword Feb 1994 ; Converted to IDL V5.0 W.
