/*

*  Name:
*     palNut

*  Purpose:
*     Form the matrix of nutation

*  Language:
*     Starlink ANSI C

*  Type of Module:
*     Library routine

*  Invocation:
*     void palNut( double date, double rmatn[3][3] );

*  Arguments:
*     date = double (Given)
*        TT as modified Julian date (JD-2400000.5)
*     rmatn = double [3][3] (Returned)
*        Nutation matrix in the sense v(true)=rmatn * v(mean)
*        where v(true) is the star vector relative to the
*        true equator and equinox of date and v(mean) is the
*        star vector relative to the mean equator and equinox
*        of date.

*  Description:
*     Form the matrix of nutation for a given date using
*     the IAU 2006 nutation model and palDeuler.

*  Authors:
*     PTW: Patrick T. Wallace
*     TIMJ: Tim Jenness (JAC, Hawaii)

*  Notes:
*     - Uses eraNut06a via palNutc
*     - The distinction between TDB and TT is negligible. For all but
*       the most critical applications UTC is adequate.

*  History:
*     2012-03-07 (TIMJ):
*        Initial version
*        Adapted with permission from the Fortran SLALIB library.
