A new release (V9.1.0) of the Starlink AST (astrometry) library is now available.

AST provides a comprehensive range of facilities for attaching world coordinate systems (such as RA/Dec, frequency, etc) to astronomical data, for retrieving and interpreting that information and for generating
graphical output based on it.

The library should be of interest to anyone writing astronomical software which needs to manipulate coordinate system data, especially celestial coordinate systems. AST is portable and environment-independent.

Main Changes in this Version

  • The AST source directory has been reorganised to put most of the AST source files into a subdirectory named "src".

  • A bug has been fixed in the TimeFrame class that caused the time returned by astCurrentTime to be wrong by 37 seconds.

  • The Region class has a new convenience method (astPointInRegion) to test a if a single point is inside a Region.
