【源码】不同精度太阳坐标的计算方法

由于太阳所施加的力远小于地球的中心引力，因此在计算作用在卫星上的摄动加速度时，不必知道其坐标的最高精度。

Since the force exerted by the Sun is much smaller than the central attraction of the Earth, it is not necessary to know its coordinates to the highest precision when calculating the perturbing acceleration acting on a satellite.

对于很多的应用目的，使用精确到约0.1 - 1%的太阳坐标简单方程就足够了，遵循太阳运动的更先进的分析理论需要参考以下文献(see e.g. van Flandern & Pulkkinen 1979, Montenbruck 1989, Montenbruck & Pfleger 2000 for further references).

For many purposes it is even sufficient to use simple equations for the solar coordinates that are accurate to about 0.1-1% and follow from more advanced analytical theories for the motion of the Sun (see e.g. van Flandern & Pulkkinen 1979, Montenbruck 1989, Montenbruck & Pfleger 2000 for further references).

太阳坐标计算的test_SunPosition.m程序使用了三种不同的方法：NASA JPL发展星历（DE436）、高精度分析系列（Brown理论）和低精度分析系列。

Three different approaches are used in the test_SunPosition.m program for the computation of solar coordinates; NASA JPL Developement Ephemerides (DE436), high-precision analytical series (Brown’s theory) and low-precision analytical series.
