*  Name:
*     palAmpqk

*  Purpose:
*     Convert star RA,Dec from geocentric apparent to mean place.

*  Language:
*     Starlink ANSI C

*  Type of Module:
*     Library routine

*  Invocation:
*     void palAmpqk ( double ra, double da, double amprms[21],
*                     double *rm, double *dm )

*  Arguments:
*     ra = double (Given)
*        Apparent RA (radians).
*     da = double (Given)
*        Apparent Dec (radians).
*     amprms = double[21] (Given)
*        Star-independent mean-to-apparent parameters (see palMappa):
*        (0)      time interval for proper motion (Julian years)
*        (1-3)    barycentric position of the Earth (AU)
*        (4-6)    not used
*        (7)      not used
*        (8-10)   abv: barycentric Earth velocity in units of c
*        (11)     sqrt(1-v*v) where v=modulus(abv)
*        (12-20)  precession/nutation (3,3) matrix
*     rm = double (Returned)
*        Mean RA (radians).
*     dm = double (Returned)
*        Mean Dec (radians).

*  Description:
*     Convert star RA,Dec from geocentric apparent to mean place. The "mean"
*     coordinate system is in fact close to ICRS. Use of this function
*     is appropriate when efficiency is important and where many star
*     positions are all to be transformed for one epoch and equinox.  The
*     star-independent parameters can be obtained by calling the palMappa
*     function.
