Detailed Description

Astronomical Constants used across CARMA.

Units follow CARMA Standard Units where applicable, SI otherwise.

Planetary data come from http://nineplanets.org and Hat Creek code. They are not meant to supplant ephemeris values, but are simply for quick calculations that do not need high accuracy.
