GoFA (Golang standards Of Fundamental Astronomy)

GoFA is a pure Golang implementation derived from the International Astronomical Union's (IAU) "Standards Of Fundamental Astronomy (SOFA) http://iausofa.org" library official C release. .

Reference documents are in: https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/hebl/gofa

GoFA Current version is 1.19. It is based on SOFA version 19 (2023-10-11).

Examples in manuals are in the subdirectory: examples

All function are tested. The test functions are derived from t_sofa_c.c .
