[SOFA] Transforms Hipparcos star data into the FK5 (J2000.0) system.
The Hipparcos data is: right ascension rah
(radians),
declination dech
(radians), proper motion in right
ascension drah
(dRA/dt, in radians per Julian year),
proper motion in declination ddech
(dDec/dt, in radians
per Julian year), parallax pxh
(arcseconds), radial
velocity rvh
(km/s receding). The FK5 data is: right
ascension ra5
, declination dec5
, proper
motion in right ascension dra5
, proper motion in
declination ddec5
, parallax px5
, radial
velocity rv5
, all in the same units as the corresponding
Hipparcos quantities. All input/output parameter (must) have the same
dimensions.
