Field Detail

KEY_TIME

public static final String KEY_TIME
The name of the time to use.

See Also:
Constant Field Values

DEFNAME

public static final String DEFNAME
The name of this global (sidereal).

See Also:
Constant Field Values

DEFTIME

private static final String DEFTIME
The name of this global (sidereal).

See Also:
Constant Field Values

time

private Value time
The UT time in ms.

Constructor Detail

SolDistance

public SolDistance(Map info)
Constructs a new sidereal time object. Note that this global can only function correctly after the time and longitude have been registered.

Method Detail

rescanned

public double rescanned(String key,
                        String old,
                        String newval)
As any parameter depending instance we fail if the parameter we depend on is now a different one.

Specified by:
rescanned in interface Reloadable
Overrides:
rescanned in class AbstractParameter

setValue

public Number setValue(Number val)
                throws UnsupportedOperationException
Sets the sidereal time. The sidereal time is a read-only variable, therefore this method throws an UnsupportedOperationException.

Specified by:
setValue in interface Value
Throws:
UnsupportedOperationException

getValue

public Number getValue()
Returns the ecliptical longitude of the Sun in degrees as a Double. Note that this method returns null if the globals denoting the time is missing.

Specified by:
getValue in interface Value

getSolDistance

public static final double getSolDistance(long ms)
Calculates the solar distance using VSOP in AU, given the time as a UNIX time stamp.


registerParameter

public void registerParameter(Parameter what)
Registers the required additional globals for the sidereal time. For this particular object, latitude and UT is required. Note that the argumental global is checked for being of instance types of Time or Longitude, rather than querrying for the global name.

Specified by:
registerParameter in interface ParameterDepending
