*  Name:
*     palFk45z

*  Purpose:
*     Convert B1950.0 FK4 star data to J2000.0 FK5 assuming zero
*     proper motion in the FK5 frame

*  Language:
*     Starlink ANSI C

*  Type of Module:
*     Library routine

*  Invocation:
*     palFk45z( double r1950, double d1950, double bepoch, double *r2000,
*               double *d2000 )

*  Arguments:
*     r1950 = double (Given)
*        B1950.0 FK4 RA at epoch (radians).
*     d1950 = double (Given)
*        B1950.0 FK4 Dec at epoch (radians).
*     bepoch = double (Given)
*        Besselian epoch (e.g. 1979.3)
*     r2000 = double (Returned)
*        J2000.0 FK5 RA (Radians).
*     d2000 = double (Returned)
*        J2000.0 FK5 Dec(Radians).

*  Description:
*     Convert B1950.0 FK4 star data to J2000.0 FK5 assuming zero
*     proper motion in the FK5 frame (double precision)
*
*     This function converts stars from the Bessel-Newcomb, FK4
*     system to the IAU 1976, FK5, Fricke system, in such a
*     way that the FK5 proper motion is zero.  Because such a star
*     has, in general, a non-zero proper motion in the FK4 system,
*     the routine requires the epoch at which the position in the
*     FK4 system was determined.
*
*     The method is from Appendix 2 of Ref 1, but using the constants
*     of Ref 4.

*  Notes:
*     - The epoch BEPOCH is strictly speaking Besselian, but if a
*     Julian epoch is supplied the result will be affected only to
*     a negligible extent.
*
*     - Conversion from Besselian epoch 1950.0 to Julian epoch 2000.0
*     only is provided for.  Conversions involving other epochs will
*     require use of the appropriate precession, proper motion, and
*     E-terms routines before and/or after palFk45z is called.
*
*     - In the FK4 catalogue the proper motions of stars within 10
*     degrees of the poles do not embody the differential E-term effect
*     and should, strictly speaking, be handled in a different manner
*     from stars outside these regions. However, given the general lack
*     of homogeneity of the star data available for routine astrometry,
*     the difficulties of handling positions that may have been
*     determined from astrometric fields spanning the polar and non-polar
*     regions, the likelihood that the differential E-terms effect was not
*     taken into account when allowing for proper motion in past
*     astrometry, and the undesirability of a discontinuity in the
*     algorithm, the decision has been made in this routine to include the
*     effect of differential E-terms on the proper motions for all stars,
*     whether polar or not.  At epoch 2000, and measuring on the sky rather
*     than in terms of dRA, the errors resulting from this simplification
*     are less than 1 milliarcsecond in position and 1 milliarcsecond per
*     century in proper motion.
