The Sun's motion with * respect to the dynamical LSR is called the "peculiar" solar * motion. * * There is another type of LSR, called a "kinematical" LSR. A * kinematical LSR is the mean standard of rest of specified star * catalogues or stellar populations, and several slightly * different kinematical LSRs are in use. The Sun's motion with * respect to an agreed kinematical LSR is known as the "standard" * solar motion. To obtain a radial velocity correction with * respect to an adopted kinematical LSR use the routine sla_RVLSRK. * * Reference: Delhaye (1965), in "Stars and Stellar Systems", vol 5, * p73. * * Called: * sla_CS2C, sla_VDV * * P.T.Wallace Starlink 9 March 1994 * * Copyright (C) 1995 Rutherford Appleton Laboratory * * License: * This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify * it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by * the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or * (at your option) any later version. * * This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, * but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of * MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
