Equation of the origins, IAU 2006 precession and IAU 2000A nutation.
Status: support routine.
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
2450123.7D0 0D0 (JD method)
2451545D0 -1421.3D0 (J2000 method)
2400000.5D0 50123.2D0 (MJD method)
2450123.5D0 0.2D0 (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.
The equation of the origins is the distance between the true equinox and the celestial intermediate origin and, equivalently, the difference between Earth rotation angle and Greenwich apparent sidereal time (ERA-GST). It comprises the precession (since J2000.0) in right ascension plus the equation of the equinoxes (including the small correction terms).
