------------
This ephemeris of Phoebe is based on a numerical model fitted to the observations dispatched from 1898 to 2012. 
This ephemeris is available  for the period [1875/07/01:2022/06/30] and through Chebychev polynomia (ph12.dat) readable with the Fortran subroutines contained in r-ph12.f90. 


================================================================================
FORTRAN SUBROUTINES
-------------------
header	: Read the header of ph12.dat to load information such as degree
	   of polynomia or period of validity
		Out:	- nc	: degree of polynomia
			- ni	: number of intervals
			- a	: first date of validity
			- b	: last date of validity
				
load 	: Load the coefficients of Chebychev polynomia
		In :	- nc	: degree of polynomia     (given by header)
			- ni	: number of intervals     (given by header)
		Out:	- cf	: coefficients
			- dat	: limit period of intervals

pos_ph12: Compute the position and velocity for a specific date (in TDB)
		In :	- a	: first date of validity  (given by header)
			- b	: last date of validity   (given by header)
			- nc	: degree of polynomia     (given by header)
			- ni	: number of intervals     (given by header)	
			- cf	: coefficients            (given by load)
			- dat	: period of intervals     (given by load)
			- t	: time in Julian Day(TDB) (given by user)
		Out:	- x 	: 6-dimension vector position-velocity
