[SOFA] Transforms FK5 (J2000.0) star data into the Hipparcos system. The input FK5 data is: right ascension ra5 (radians), declination dec5 (radians), proper motion in right ascension dra5 (dRA/dt, radians per Julian year), proper motion in declination ddec5 (ddec/dt, radians per Julian year), parallax px5 (arcseconds), radial velocity rv5 (km/s, positive receding). The output Hipparcos data is: right ascension rah, declination dech, proper motion in right ascension drah, proper motion in declination ddech, parallax pxh, radial velocity rvh – with the same units as for the FK5 coordinates.
