Geocentric Solar Ecliptic

Definitions

The Earth-centric Solar Ecliptic frame is defined as follows : - X-Y plane is defined by the Earth Mean Ecliptic plane of date: the +Z axis, primary vector, is the normal vector to this plane, always pointing toward the North side of the invariant plane; - +X axis is the component of the Earth-Sun vector that is orthogonal to the +Z axis; - +Y axis completes the right-handed system; - the origin of this frame is the Sun's center of mass. All the vectors are geometric: no aberration corrections are used.
