The ERFA documentation is:- - - - - - - - e r a S 0 0 b - - - - - - - - The CIO locator s, positioning the Celestial Intermediate Origin on the equator of the Celestial Intermediate Pole, using the IAU 2000B precession-nutation model. Given: date1,date2 double TT as a 2-part Julian Date (Note 1) Returned (function value): double the CIO locator s in radians (Note 2) Notes: 1) The TT date date1+date2 is a Julian Date, apportioned in any convenient way between the two arguments. For example, JD(TT)=2450123.7 could be expressed in any of these ways, among others: date1 date2 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 method is best matched to the way the argument is handled internally and will deliver the optimum resolution. The MJD method and the date & time methods are both good compromises between resolution and convenience. 2) The CIO locator s is the difference between the right ascensions of the same point in two systems. The two systems are the GCRS and the CIP,CIO, and the point is the ascending node of the CIP equator. The CIO locator s remains a small fraction of 1 arcsecond throughout 1900-2100. 3) The series used to compute s is in fact for s+XY/2, where X and Y are the x and y components of the CIP unit vector; this series is more compact than a direct series for s would be. The present function uses the IAU 2000B truncated nutation model when predicting the CIP position. The function eraS00a uses instead the full IAU 2000A model, but with no significant increase in accuracy and at some cost in speed.
