+<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>

+<li><a name="son67"></a>Sonnerup, B.U.Ö. and Cahill, L.J. Jr., (1967) "Magnetopause
+structure and attitude from <i>Explorer 12</i> observations", <i>J.

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