Detailed Description

A class that implements a method to compute close conjunctions between any two solar system objects excluding planetary moons.

Given two such objects, this class has implementations of algorithms required to find the time of closest approach in a given range of time. Implements algorithms to find close conjunctions of planets in a given time range.

Member Function Documentation

QMap< long double, dms > KSConjunct::findClosestApproach	(	SkyObject &	Object1,
		KSPlanetBase &	Object2,
		long double	startJD,
		long double	stopJD,
		dms	maxSeparation,
		bool	_opposition = false
	)

Compute the closest approach of two planets in the given range.

Parameters

Object1	A copy of the class corresponding to one of the two bodies
Object2	A copy of the class corresponding to the other of the two bodies
startJD	Julian Day corresponding to start of the calculation period
stopJD	Julian Day corresponding to end of the calculation period
maxSeparation	Maximum separation between Object1 and Object2 - a measure how close the conjunction should be to be output.
opposition	A parameter to see if we are computing conjunction or opposition

Returns

Hash containing julian days of close conjunctions against separation
