------------
The subroutine EPHM delivers the ephemerides of the five main Uranian satellites. It is based on a numerical model fitted to the
observations dispatched from 1954 to 2005. These ephemerides are available only for the period [2006:2011]. For an extended use, feel free to
contact us by email at the following address: lainey@imcce.fr
The expected accuracy of these ephemerides is roughly 500 metres over this period.
More details are available in (Lainey, 2007).
EPHM is the only subroutine that the user should call.
Input:
------
ET=Time Julian days (TDB)
satellite number (1 Ariel, 2 Umbriel, 3 Titania, 4 Oberon, 5 Miranda)
Output:
-------
positions are in Cartesian coordinates (x, y, z) in a frame centered on Uranus with axes in the J2000 Earth mean equatorial frame.
Units:
------
Positions are delivered in kilometres.
