PlanetaryPhenomena

public protocol PlanetaryPhenomena : PlanetaryBase

The PlanetaryPhenomena protocol encompass all methods associated with planetary phenomena in the solar system: conjunction, oppotisions, etc.

  • inferiorConjunction(mean:) Default implementation

    Compute the julian day of the inferior conjunction of the planet after the given julian day.

    if false, the true inferior conjunction is computed. That is, calculated by adding corrections to computations made from circular orbits and uniform planetary motions. See AA. pp 251.

    Default Implementation

    Declaration

    Swift

    func inferiorConjunction(mean: Bool) -> JulianDay

    Parameters

    mean

    The ‘mean’ configuration here means that it is calculated from circular orbits and uniform planetary motions. See AA. pp 250.

    Return Value

    A julian day.

  • superiorConjunction(mean:) Default implementation

    Compute the julian day of the superior conjunction of the planet after the given julian day.

    if false, the true inferior conjunction is computed. That is, calculated by adding corrections to computations made from circular orbits and uniform planetary motions. See AA. pp 251.

    Default Implementation

    Declaration

    Swift

    func superiorConjunction(mean: Bool) -> JulianDay

    Parameters

    mean

    The ‘mean’ configuration here means that it is calculated from circular orbits and uniform planetary motions. See AA. pp 250.

    Return Value

    A julian day.
