C++ Interface to JPL's DE405 Ephemeris

The "niek-ephem" tool is a C++ front end to JPL's DE405 ephemeris.

It includes:

(1) A conversion utility to change JPL's ASCII interpolation coefficient files to a single binary file.

(2) An interactive text-based interface to the ephemeris information.

(3) A library interface to the ephemeris information.

(4) A unit testing framework.

The correctness of the implementation has been verified using the JPL Horizons web-based ephemeris system.
