This pull request adds support for the IAU-defined coordinate time scales TCG (Geocentric Coordinate Time) and TCB (Barycentric Coordinate Time), including their conversion logic and documentation. It also improves the accuracy and clarity of the TT↔TDB conversion and updates documentation and tests accordingly.
New time scales and conversions:
TCG(Geocentric Coordinate Time) andTCB(Barycentric Coordinate Time) types, including their mathematical definitions, documentation, and conversion logic to and from TT, following IAU 2000/2006 resolutions.TCGandTCBin time scale conversions and public API. [1] [2]Improved TT↔TDB conversion:
tt_to_tdbfunction to use the Fairhead & Bretagnon (1990) expression, matching USNO Circular 179, for improved accuracy and documentation.Documentation updates:
TCGandTCBamong the supported time scales. [1] [2]Testing:
TCGandTCBconversions, including offset checks at J2000 and round-trip accuracy.
