IAU orientation models for the Earth and planets.
Returns the rotation matrix for a coordinate transformation from the International Celestial Reference Frame (ICRF) frame to the IAU rotating frame associated with a body. The IAU orientation models use three Euler angles to describe the pole and prime meridian location (ra, dec, and w).
