patch for more JPL DE-style ephemeris support
Posted: 31.03.2013, 16:12
Dear all,
The current celestia code supports only JPL Big Endian ephemerides
DE406/DE405/DE200.
The big endian ephemeris DE406 comes in chunk of 300 years. If you
want to concatenate several pieces, using the software provided by JPL
(which does not handle endianess), you need a big endian platform. The
little endian DE406 comes in one piece of 6000 years, so you don't
even need to concatenate this one.
The patch proposed adds the following:
- support for both endianess with autodetection of endianess
- support for all JPL DE ephemeris (from DE200) with autodetection of
record size.
- support for JPL DE compatible ephemeris such as the INPOP ephemeris
from Paris observatory (only the ephemeris files in the legacy JPL DE
compatible format and with timescale TDB, not the INPOP native format,
or the TCB files). http://www.imcce.fr/inpop/download10e.php
The method to autodetect ephemeris type, record size and endianess is
based on the CALCEPH software.
It would probably be better if possible to wrap around the CALCEPH
library (so that it would also support INPOP native format) but this
would be more work.
In addition to the ephemeris number and the start and end date, the
record size and endianess are also printed to the log (which you get
by pressing the tilde key).
If the ephemeris is an INPOP ephemeris, then the ephemeris number is
not printed to the log: it just says "INPOP" (I have been too lazy to
find out where this is stored).
It has been tested with:
- DE406 big endian
- DE406 little endian
- DE405 big endian
- DE423 little endian
- INPOP10A little endian
However, I have not performed any accurate regression testing. I have
just checked that the planets orbits do not look strange and that the
log is reporting the correct endianess, record size and ephemeris
name.
Only tested on Linux/x86_64, would appreciate if it could be tested
further and eventually be merged.
