15.5.164 eors

eors(rnpb, s)

[SOFA] Returns the equation of the origins measured in radians, given the classical nutation-precession-bias matrix rnpb and CIO locator s. rnpb must have its first two dimensions equal to 3. s has the same dimensions as rnpb except that it lacks those first two dimensions equal to 3.

The equation of the origins is the distance between the true equinox and the celestial intermediate origin, or, equivalently, between the Earth rotation angle and Greenwich apparent sidereal time. It is equal to the precession in right ascension since J2000.0 plus the equation of the equinoxes including the small correction terms.
