fapa03(tc)
[SOFA] Returns the general accumulated precession in longitude in
radians, a fundamental argument according to the iers conventions of
2003, as a function of the number tc
of Julian centuries
since J2000.0 TDB. It makes no practical difference if
tc
is measured since J2000.0 TT instead. The result has
the same dimensions as tc
.
