<body><h1>References for Coordinate Transformations</h1>
<hr>
<p>This page lists some references that give useful information on methods for
transforming vectors and tensors between different space physics coordinate
systems. </p>
<h2>General papers</h2>

Transformations",
<i>Cosmic. Electrodyn.</i> <b>2</b>, 184-196</li>
<li><a name="mah92"></a>M.A. Hapgood, (1992) "Space Physics Coordinate
Transformations: A User Guide", <i>Planet. Space Sci.</i> <b>40</b>,
711-717 (but see correction note in
<a href="http:#mah97">Hapgood (1997)</a>).</li>
<li><a name="mah95"></a>M.A. Hapgood, (1995) "Space physics coordinate
transformations: the role of precession", <i>Annales Geophysicae</i>, <b>13</b>,
713-716.</li>
<li><a name="mah97"></a>M.A. Hapgood, (1997) "Corrigendum to
Space Physics Coordinate Transformations: A User Guide",
<i>Planet. Space Sci.</i> <b>45</b>, 1047. </li>
</ul>
<h2>Reference works</h2>
<ul><li><a name="alcom"></a>The <i>Almanac for Computers</i> published each
year by the <a href="http://aa.usno.navy.mil/AA">US Naval Observatory</a>
contains many useful formulae for calculating many of the rotation angles used
in space physics coordinate transformations.</li>
<li><a name="aa"></a>The <i>Astronomical Almanac</i> jointly published each
year by the US Naval Observatory and the UK
<a href="http://www.nao.rl.ac.uk/">Nautical Almanac Office</a> contains
much useful information on formulae used in coordinate transformations.</li>
<li><a name="esup"></a>The <i>Explanatory Supplement to the Astronomical
Almanac</i> published in 1992 contains more detailed information. The old 1961
edition, which was published as the <i>Explanatory Supplement to the
Astronomical Emphemeris</i>, is still widely available and remains a useful
reference. </li>
<li><a name="prac"></a><i>Practical Astronomy with your Calculator</i> by
Peter Duffett-Smith, first published in 1979 by Cambridge University Press,
gives an excellent short introduction to some of the astronomical calculations
underlying space physics coordinate transformations. A version of this book for
personal computers is also available.</li>

structure and attitude from <i>Explorer 12</i> observations", <i>J.
Geophys. Res.</i> <b>72</b>, 171-183. (See pages 173-175 for a discussion of
boundary normal determination by minimum variance.) </li></ul>

Space and Geophysical Applications</i>, Report PL-TR-91-2296, Phillips
