Usage
precession_frequency(
a_RE,
lod_h = NULL,
obliquity_deg = .AC$obliquity0_deg,
Ed = .AC$Ed0,
lod_kind = "solar"
)Arguments
- a_RE
Earth-Moon distance in Earth radii (numeric, > 0; the present value is about 60.14). Required, no default. It sets the lunar part of the precession torque and, when
lod_h = NULL, the length of day.- lod_h
Length of day in hours (numeric, > 0), of the type given by
lod_kind.NULLderives the Earth's spin rate froma_REby conservation of the angular momentum of the Earth-Moon system (omega_from_moon_distance).Default=NULL.- obliquity_deg
Earth's obliquity in degrees (numeric); the precession rate scales with its cosine.
Default=.AC$obliquity0_deg, the present value of 23.2545 degrees.- Ed
Dynamical ellipticity of the Earth at the present spin rate (numeric, dimensionless); it is scaled with the square of the spin rate.
Default=.AC$Ed0, i.e. 0.003243.- lod_kind
Type of day of
lod_h(character):"solar"or"sidereal"; also used for the length of day returned.Default="solar".
