. The ERFA documentation is:- - - - - - - - - e r a C 2 t x y - - - - - - - - - Form the celestial to terrestrial matrix given the date, the UT1, the CIP coordinates and the polar motion. IAU 2000. Given: tta,ttb double TT as a 2-part Julian Date (Note 1) uta,utb double UT1 as a 2-part Julian Date (Note 1) x,y double Celestial Intermediate Pole (Note 2) xp,yp double coordinates of the pole (radians, Note 3) Returned: rc2t double[3][3] celestial-to-terrestrial matrix (Note 4) Notes: 1) The TT and UT1 dates tta+ttb and uta+utb are Julian Dates, apportioned in any convenient way between the arguments uta and utb. For example, JD(UT1)=2450123.7 could be expressed in any o these ways, among others: uta utb 2450123.7 0.0 (JD method) 2451545.0 -1421.3 (J2000 method) 2400000.5 50123.2 (MJD method) 2450123.5 0.2 (date & time method) The JD method is the most natural and convenient to use in cases where the loss of several decimal digits of resolution is acceptable. The J2000 and MJD methods are good compromises between resolution and convenience. In the case of uta,utb, the date & time method is best matched to the Earth rotation angle algorithm used: maximum precision is delivered when the uta argument is for 0hrs UT1 on the day in question and the utb argument lies in the range 0 to 1, or vice versa. 2) The Celestial Intermediate Pole coordinates are the x,y components of the unit vector in the Geocentric Celestial Reference System. 3) The arguments xp and yp are the coordinates (in radians) of the Celestial Intermediate Pole with respect to the International Terrestrial Reference System (see IERS Conventions 2003), measured along the meridians 0 and 90 deg west respectively. 4) The matrix rc2t transforms from celestial to terrestrial coordinates: [TRS] = RPOM * R_3(ERA) * RC2I * [CRS] = rc2t * [CRS] where [CRS] is a vector in the Geocentric Celestial Reference System and [TRS] is a vector in the International Terrestrial Reference System (see IERS Conventions 2003), ERA is the Earth Rotation Angle and RPOM is the polar motion matrix. 5) Although its name does not include "00", This function is in fact specific to the IAU 2000 models.
