error in heliocentricZ
Opened this issue · 1 comments
Hi, just noting that the values of heliocentricZ in the SSSource table of DP0.3 seems to have incorrect values. I have a notebook demonstrating that the value of heliocentricZ is much bigger than expected from propagation of its orbit. I wonder if there is maybe a radians-degrees bug somewhere. I have included a summary figure from the nb which compares the heliocentric coords from SSSource (scatter) to the propagated values (lines). X and Y values are slightly off but probably just do to my simple test/choice of reference frame.
Possibly related to past issue #16

Ooh, interesting. I wonder if it's perhaps ecliptic vs equatorial coordinates...
