REAL FUNCTION sla_PAV ( V1, V2 ) *+ * - - - - * P A V * - - - - * * Position angle of one celestial direction with respect to another. * * (single precision) * * Given: * V1 r(3) direction cosines of one point * V2 r(3) direction cosines of the other point * * (The coordinate frames correspond to RA,Dec, Long,Lat etc.) * * The result is the bearing (position angle), in radians, of point * V2 with respect to point V1. It is in the range +/- pi. The * sense is such that if V2 is a small distance east of V1, the * bearing is about +pi/2. Zero is returned if the two points * are coincident. * * V1 and V2 do not have to be unit vectors. * * The routine sla_BEAR performs an equivalent function except * that the points are specified in the form of spherical * coordinates. * * Called: sla_DPAV * * Last revision: 11 September 2005 * * Copyright P.T.Wallace.
