public class SolRa
extends AbstractValue
implements Increasing, ParameterDepending, Reloadable

A parameter giving the actual solar right ascension. It needs the solar ecliptical longitude. Returns degrees. The right ascension follows from the solar longitude λ with the ecliptic obliqutiy ε to

 tan(α) = cos(ε)·tan(λ)

Constructor Detail

SolRa

public SolRa(Map prop)

Constructs a new solar right ascension parameter. Defaults the value of the inclination of the ecliptic, KEY_ECLIPTIC, and the solar ecliptical longitude parameter KEY_SOL.

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 solar right ascension 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 right ascension of the Sun in radians as a Double. Note that this method returns null if the globals denoting the solar longitude is missing.

Specified by:

getValue in interface Value

getSolRa

public static final double getSolRa(double lambda,
                                    double epsilon)

Returns the solar right ascension from the ecliptic obliquity and the solar ecliptic longitude.

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 CurrentTime or Longitude, rather than querrying for the global name.

Specified by:

registerParameter in interface ParameterDepending

getAscendTime

public Long getAscendTime(Number until)

Returns the remaining time in ms. Only a very crude estimate.

Specified by:

getAscendTime in interface Increasing

Parameters:

until - The value in the future.

Returns:

A double carrying the remaining time or null if the time cannot be calculated.

getFormatted

public String getFormatted()

Returns the formatted longitude value. It is a string giving the longitude in deg, min, and sec.

Specified by:

getFormatted in interface Parameter

Overrides:

getFormatted in class AbstractParameter
