Etymology

From Parallactic Angle and machinery

Synopsis

The construction of a ParAngleMachine class object creates a machine that can create parallactic angles from a series of time epochs given.

The machinery needs an input MDirection to specify the input coordinates reference direction and coordinate system. The parallactic (vertical) angle will be calculated as the angle between the vertical in the local coordinate system (Az, El) through the given direction and the pole of the J2000 coordinate system.
Tip: To calculate the parallactic angle for another coordinate system pole, add the positionAngle between the J2000 system and the pole in the other coordinate system;

The machinery also needs a MeasFrame, with a position on Earth and a reference epoch. The reference time is necessary to have an epoch type.

The actual calculation of the parallactic angles is done by the operator() accepting a time or a list of times in various formats.

The machine calculates the paralaactic angle for the first time given to the machine. For subsequent times that are within a check interval, the angle is calculated assuming that only the hour angle changes within that interval. For moving objects the test interval is always forced to zero. Tests show that the machine with a zero interval is about 8 times faster than using brute force. Having an interval of an hour improves that by another factor of 4.
Tip: If the parallactic angles for a series of directions have to be calculated, it is best to have separate machines for each such field;

Example

Motivation

To speed up parallactic angle calculations
