// Package orbit propagates lightweight Sun-centered two-body conic orbits. // // Supported input styles: // - classical elliptic elements: A/E/I/Omega/W/M0 at EpochJD // - perihelion form: Q/E/I/Omega/W/TpJD for high-eccentricity, parabolic, // or hyperbolic comet-like trajectories // // All input angles are in degrees. EpochJD and TpJD are TT/TDB Julian days. // Returned geometric positions do not include perturbations beyond the supplied // elements. Astrometric results include down-leg light-time correction. // Apparent results follow this repository's existing planet semantics: // astrometric position plus nutation/of-date coordinate conversion, without a // full external aberration model. The package also provides observer-facing // altitude/azimuth/hour-angle and rise/transit/set helpers built on top of the // apparent topocentric coordinates. Rise/set helpers return package-local // sentinel errors ERR_ORBIT_NEVER_RISE / ERR_ORBIT_NEVER_SET, matching the // convention used by other public observation packages in this repository. // // In addition, the package includes a small classical visual-binary helper // based on the standard P/T/e/a/i/Omega/omega element set, returning apparent // position angle and separation on the sky. package orbit
