 PREFACE

    Tyko ( Tycho Tyco ) Brahe ( 1546-1601) was a famous medieval astronomer
   who developed the observation methods in its top reaching incredible 1 arc
   minute precision without any optical or electronical instruments.
   I hope this program would be able to the same accuracy.

       TYKO30.DOC    This file


 2. INTRODUCTION

   This program does the time changes both in the Julian Calendar and the
   Gregorian Calendar. The date have to be  later than March 1st 4712 BC.
   or greater than Julian day 98 in the Gregorian calendar, Julian day 60
   in the Julian calendar.The Calendar can be selected from the SETUP menus.
       
   The other and perhaps the main part of this program contains the main
   objects of our Solar system and 22 brightest stars of this corner.

   Furthermore there is a simple calendar with almost unlimited time scale
   to the both calendar form. And a lot other usefull tiny programs.
                         
   Executable files:

       START    main program
       ASCAL    a simple calendar
       GSTR     yields the Easter Sunday for Gregorian calendar
       JSTR     yields the Easter Sunday for Julian calendar
       JDAY     a fast way to get a Julian day number
       CADA     a fast way to convert JDAY to calendar date
       EOFT     yields the Ephemeris Transit (12-EOFT = Equation of the Time)
       GWUT     yields a mean Side real Time at Greenwich longitude
       EQSO     Equinoxes and Solstices
       CONV     Ecliptical coordinates to Equatorial coordinates
       EQEC     Equatorial coordinates to Ecliptical coordinates
       SETUP    a simple time application.


 3. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

    Tyko v3.0 is purposed on the HP48SX-calculators. Tyko3.0 requires about
   35000 bytes and about 10000 bytes free memory space.
   All the following files must be found from the TYKO directory in order to
   Tyko30 can be run;

   { start.,ascal,gstr,jstr,jday,cada,eoft,gwut,eqso,conv,eqec,setup,solar,
   sudep,misc,crob,drav,pdrv,sdrv,chut,deep,aars,daes,geoc,calm,cals,cal1,
   cal2,cal4,cal5,cal6,cal7,cal8,cal9,sdat,damo,nm,news,nova,wipe,zz,f24,f36,
   \GD\165,\GD\Ge,\Glm,\O/.\Ge,jd0,jd,jg,ut,dt,lt,tz,dl }


 4. HOW IT WORKS ?
                            
     48SX
     __________________________
     * Gregorian    DST= 1    *   Calendar and Daylight Saving Time
     * TZ= 2  LT= 14          *   Time Zone and Local Time
     * JD0 = 2448849.5        *   Julian Day at 0 UT
     * JD  = 2448849.95833    *   Julian day related to the Universal Time
     * UT= 11 today           *   Universal Time

     * \Gl = 25 \O/ = 60      *   Geographical coordinates
      [ab][cd][ef][gh][ij][kl]

     This program doesn't contain any fancy things so I suppose one 
     is accustomed to use menu keys and other HP48's features so I 
     leave them to explain. 

   NOTE;   UT = hh.mmss yesterday  =   defined date - 1
           UT = hh.mmss today      =   defined date
           UT = hh.mmss tomorrow   =   defined date + 1


   SETUP: a simple time application program for the settings

    DATE   form is MM DD YYYY, the preceding zeros are not essential
    TIME   must be entered in the 24-hour system
    LATIT  latitude is between -90 and +90 degrees, must be as decimals
    LONG   longitude range is -180 to 180, westerns are negatives, as decimals
    ZONE   user's local time zone
    BACK   lets you to go back to the START-menu

    DST    Dayligth Saving Time-switch
    CALE   Calendar-switch

   SETUP requirements for;

     LT.ST   Local Time to Sidereal Time : DATE TIME LONG ZONE DST CALE
     ST.LT   Sidereal Time to Local Time : DATE TIME LONG ZONE DST CALE
     SPACE   Sun Moon Planets Stars      : DATE TIME LATIT LONG ZONE DST CALE

   SETUP <ZONE>

       Time Zone have to be entered in hours, as negative at western
       longitudes otherwise positive.
       Here is a few example;                   Longitudes around
                                                      
       Melbourne                       +10             +150
       Delhi                           +5              +75
       Moscow                          +3              +30
       most West European countries    +1              +15
       Reykjavik                       -1              -15

       In the North America and the Pasific Ocean;

       Eastern Standard Time           -5              -75
       Central                         -6              -90
       Mountain                        -7              -105
       Pasific                         -8              -120
       Alaska                          -9              -135
       Havaii                          -10             -140

   NOTE; Time zone related very closely to the longitude. If you change
         either one of them then you must check also the other.

     Allows you to put a Julian day number instead of the calendar          V
     date and time. This is a little bit confusing way to define a          V
     given moment because it related to the Universal Time and the          V
     current Time Zone can affect that date so much that it differ          V
     from the Julian day which has been typed in.                           V
                                                                            V
   EXAMPLE 1:                                                               V
          TZ (time zone) = -8  and DST= 1 then  by pressing  JULIA          V
          and type number 2448942.7 <enter> yields following;               V
                                                                            V
              LT= 21.48                                                     V
              JD0 = 2448941.5                                               V
              JD  = 2448942.7                                               V

              Sun Nov 15.1992  DN  (tough JD 2448942.5 is                   V
                                    at 0 UT in November 16.1992)            V
                                                                            V
     You find that UT = fraction part of JD - 0.5 because the Julian        V
     day begins always at 12 UT in the calendar date and therefore at       V
     0 UT is the noon of Julian day and therefore the fraction              V
     .7 .5 -  = .2  represents the Universal Time.                          V
                                                                            V
     More confusing, if you then use the SETUP-menu and put the             V
     date 11 16 1992 to the DATE you will get the next things;              V
                                                                            V
              LT= 21.48                                                     V
              JD0 = 2448942.5                                               V
              JD  = 2448943.7                                               V
              UT= 4.48 tomorrow                                             V
              Mon Nov 16.1992  321                                          V
                                                                            V
     Again, JD and UT related together and LT, JD0 and current date         V
     should represent the same date if all values have been set             V
     correct. You can update the time e.g. by putting 13 to the             V
     TIME-menu and you will get;                                            V

     In general, to the West longitudes, if LT >= 24+(-TZ+DST)              V
     then UT is situated to the next day.                                   V
     To the East longitudes, If LT < +TZ+DST then the UT is                 V

    ASCAL  it requires two number, you can't miss it. This calendar also
           searchs your calculator's alarms. However, there is a tiny quirk.
           If it finds the latest alarm then it reports all of them ??

    GSTR  a year number from stack, you will be see it.

    JSTR  a year number from stack.

    JDAY  three values, MM DD YYYY. results are Julian Day number and Day
          of a year. Uses the selected calendar.

    CADA  Type Julian day to the stack, result is a string contains calendar
          date. It check automatically the current calendar form.

    EOFT  Julian day number at 12 UT, ( i.e. no fraction part ). result is
          Ephemeris Time. Takes Time Zone, Longitude and/or Dayligth Saving
          Time  from current SETUP-variables. Therefore it is more desirable
          to beg it from the SUN-menu.

    EQSO  put month and year to the stack ( the months March, Jun, September
          and December only ). Gives to the level 2 a tagged object which is
          the time of the phenomenon at your local time. The accuracy is about
          ten minutes.  On the level 1 is a string containing that date.

    GWUT  Julian day with decimals; yields two numbers, level 2 is a tagged
          object; GMST0: this is valid only if entered Julian day is at 0 UT,
          otherwise it represents the mean Side real Time in the Greenwich at
          decimal of the Julian day number. Both numbers are actually same;
          the number level 2 is the form HH.MMSS and the other is in decimals.

    CONV  put ecliptical coordinates to stack. To level 2 ecliptical longitude
          and level 1 latitude. Yields 2 tagged objects. Takes the current
          Obliquity of the Ecliptic from somewhere. You can update it by
          running the SUN-menu. Type both in as decimals; dd.fraction !!

    EQEC  type equatorial coordinates to the stack. To level 2 Right Ascension
          and level 1 Declination. If you convert Apparrent coordinates then
          use APPAR. If Equatorial coordinates are referred to the standard
          equinox of J2000 then use MEAN.
          Type RA. in the form hh.mmss and DECL. dd.mmss !!
      
   NOTE; CONV and EQEC have not been purposed on reduction use, i.e. to reduce
         coordinates from one date to another. They do the conversion at the
         defined moment and before the conversion execution the SPACE must be
         run at the same moment ( to update the Obliquity of the Ecliptic ).

   EXAMPLE 2: Find the Sun's position and Equation of Equinox on December 25
              1992 at 0 UT ( LONGitude is -75, TZ = -5, calendar is Gregorian ).

          1.  Start the program by pressing START. ( are you kidding )
          2.  Go to the SETUP-menu
          3.  Press DATE and type 12 25 1992 <enter>.
          4.  Press TIME and set time to be same as the sum of TZ+DST
              e.g. TZ= -5 DST= 0,  then type -5 <enter>
          5.  Press BACK
          6.  Press SPACE

         12.  Press END

      To pass steps 2.- 5. press JULIA and type 2448981.5 <enter>.
      This yields exactly the same ecliptical and equatorial coordinates
      as steps 2.- 5. do. An other method to determine time at 0 UT is
      to put TIME, ZONE, LONG and DST to zero.

  GROBs for SOLAR;  planets & Moon

  ** PICT **

      The basic Crob-picture is created when you run PICT the first time. It
      takes quite long time at this time but later it is much faster if you
      do not purge it. To the Moon it always takes about one minute to
      make it so be patient.
      There are two eclipses representing the planets orbit. The Earth is
      switched from one orbit to the other depending on the selected object.
      In the case of the inner planets, Mercury, Venus and the Moon, the
      Earth is located to the outer ring ( of course, the Earth and Mars
      belong also to the inner solar system ). Calculating the outer planets
      the inner ring is the Earth's orbit.
      You can identify the Earth in that way there is a tiny circle in the
      surface of the Earth. If you look at it on the HST you will find it is
      an observer with hand-held. That observer is bound to the local time
      which has been displayed in the lower right corner and the local time
      is bound to the things which have been expressed above.
      In the lower left corner is object's heliocentric latitude converted
      to the distance unit.
      The half line should be the vernal equinox, i.e. when the Earth is on
      that line then the Sun's longitude should be about zero.
      The basic picture reserves 1106.5 bytes.

          WEIRDS;  The planets' size is changing with the time. I didn't
                   able to solve it and that's why the picture is sometimes
                   little bit messy. XRNG and YRNG are every time the same.

 5. ABOUT COORDINATES

    In here the ecliptical coordinates' zero point is the Earth's center
    (Geocentric) or the Sun's center (Heliocentric). Zero direction to the
    longitude is vernal equinox growing counterclockwise from 0 to 360
    degrees. Reference plane to the latitude is Earth's orbit plane,
    is called the ecliptic.
       
    The reference point of the right ascension is the direction of the vernal
    equinox ( the first point of Aries ). This happens when the Sun is in this
    direction ( about March 21st, you can check it by EQSO and then put the
    given time and date to the SETUP-menu and run the SUN-menu. The both
    coordinates, ecliptical longitude and Right Ascension, should be around
    zero at vernal equinoxes. ).
    R.A. gets all values counterclockwise from zero to 360 degrees but usually
    the degrees are converted to the 24-hour system as this program does.

    The reference plane of the declination is the Earth's equatorial plane.
    This number can get values -90 to +90 degress (in the case of the Sun
    this gets values about -23 to 23 ).

    This program counts the Azimuth  to the clockwise from the South on the
    northern hemisphere and from the North on the Southern hemisphere and the
    values are between 0 and 360 degrees. E.g. if Azi= 90 deg. then the Sun is
    about in the West (if LATIT is positive).
    Altitude can have the values from -89.59... to 89.59... degrees where the
    zero plane is an observer's horizon plane.

    Distance unit is in the AU (= Astromical Unit = 1.49597870E11 meters ) for
    the Planets. To the Moon distance unit is the Earth's equatorial radius
    (= 6378.14 kilometers ). To the Stars the distance unit is pc ( = parcek
    = 206264.80624 AU = 3.26161 ly ). In the case of the Moon there are two
    different kind of distances; R = Sun-Earth distance and unit is the
    Earth's equatorial radius 6378.14 km and # delta is, of cource, distance
    Earth-Moon and unit is the same.

    The accuracy of the R.A. and Declination is few seconds within two
    decade from the present -- to the past and future. Except for the Pluto.
