timetool

Timetool software transforms the time from Local Sidereal Time (LST), Local Time (LT) or Julian Dates (JD) to Universal Time (UT).

For conversion: LST -> UT see
S. Aoki et al., The New Definition of Universal Time, Astron. Astrophys. 105, 359-361, (1982).

du = JulianDate(y, m, d, 0, 0, 0) - 2451545;
T = du/36525;
GMST1 = 24110.54841 + T*(8640184.812866 + 0.093104T – 6.2e-6TT);
LST = hours(hh, mm, ss);
UT = LST - GMST1/3600.0 - Longitude/15;
UT = UT/24;
UT= 24
(UT - int(UT));
