Detailed Description

Main class for Stellarium core processing.

This class provides services like management of sky projections, tone conversion, or reference frame conversion. It is used by the various StelModules to update and display themselves. There is currently only one StelCore instance in Stellarium, but in the future they may be more, allowing for example to display several independent views of the sky at the same time.

double StelCore::computeDeltaT ( const double JD )

slot

Compute DeltaT estimation for a given date.

DeltaT is the accumulated effect of earth's rotation slowly getting slower, mostly caused by tidal braking by the Moon. For accurate positioning of objects in the sky, we must compute earth-based clock-dependent things like earth rotation, hour angles etc. using plain UT, but all orbital motions or rotation of the other planets must be computed in TT, which is a regular time frame. Also satellites are computed in the UT frame because (1) they are short-lived and (2) must follow paths over earth ground. (Note that we make no further difference between TT and DT, those might differ by milliseconds at best but are regarded equivalent for our purpose.)

Parameters

JD	the date and time expressed as a Julian Day

Returns: DeltaT in seconds

Note: Thanks to Rob van Gent who created a collection from many formulas for calculation of DeltaT: http://www.staff.science.uu.nl/~gent0113/deltat/deltat.htm; Use this only if needed, prefer calling getDeltaT() for access to the current value.; Up to V0.15.1, if the requested year was outside validity range, we returned zero or some useless value. Starting with V0.15.2 the value from the edge of the defined range is returned instead if not explicitly zero is given in the source. Limits can be queried with getCurrentDeltaTAlgorithmValidRangeDescription()
