[SOFA] Returns precession-nutation according to the IAU 2006 model for
the specified TT Julian Date jdtt
and nutation in
longitude dpsi
and obliquity deps
, both in
radians. The nutation values must be with respect to the equinox and
ecliptic of date. The output parameters are the mean obliquity
epsa
, the frame bias matrix rb
, the
precession matrix rp
, the bias-precession matrix
rbp
, the nutation matrix rn
, and the
GCRS-to-true matrix rbpn
. epsa
gets the
same dimensions as jdtt
. The remaining output variables
get those same dimensions plus two extra dimensions equal to 3
prefixed.
