Unofficial wrapper of the IAU SOFA C libraries for fundamental astronomy. See the Astrometry.jl > SOFA sub-package for the pure Julia implementation.
The purpose of this package is to wrap the SOFA C library of fundamental astonomical function to make it easily accessible in Julia. This package serves as a wrapper only. All functions ultimately call the original, unmodified, SOFA C library functions which are compiled as part of the package build process.
The full SOFA C test suite is reproduced as part of the package to prove compliance and reproducibility of the core SOFA C functionality.
The package versions correspond to the following releases of the SOFA C Library:
| Package Version | SOFA Release |
|---|---|
| v1.0 | 2019-07-22 |
| v0.1 | 2018-01-30 |
- All computed values are returned by the function call. No values are returned by reference.
- Wrappers for iauAtciqn, iauAticqn, and iauLdn do not currently work properly.
This distribution is permitted and compliant with the SOFA license. See the LICENSE for details.
