Detailed Description

This structure contains two pointers to data files containing arrays of center-of-mass positions for the Earth and Sun, respectively.

The tables are derived from the JPL ephemeris.

Files tabulate positions for one calendar year (actually, a little more than one year, to deal with overlaps). The first line of each table summarizes what is in it. Subsequent lines give the time (GPS) and the Earth's position $(x,y,z)$, velocity $(v_x, v_y, v_z)$, and acceleration $(a_x, a_y, a_z)$ at that instant. All in units of seconds; e.g. positions have units of seconds, and accelerations have units 1/sec.
