Detailed Description

A subclass of KSAsteroid that represents the planet Pluto.

Now, we are certainly NOT claiming that Pluto is an asteroid. However, the findPosition() routines of KSPlanet do not work properly for Pluto. We had been using a unique polynomial expansion for Pluto, but even this fails spectacularly for dates much more remote than a few hundred years. We consider it better to instead treat Pluto's orbit much more simply, using elliptical orbital elements as we do for asteroids. In order to improve the long-term accuracy of Pluto's position, we are also including linear approximations of the evolution of each orbital element with time.

The orbital element data (including the time-derivatives) come from the NASA/JPL website: https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/?planets#elem

Provides necessary information about Pluto.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

KSPluto()

KSPluto::KSPluto ( const QString & fn = QString(), double pSize = 0 )

explicit

Constructor.

Calls KSAsteroid constructor with name="Pluto", and fills in orbital element data (which is hard-coded for now).

Parameters

fn	filename of Pluto's image
pSize	physical diameter of Pluto, in km

Definition at line 25 of file kspluto.cpp.

~KSPluto()

KSPluto::~KSPluto ( )

override

Destructor (empty)

Definition at line 54 of file kspluto.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

clone()

KSPluto * KSPluto::clone ( ) const

overridevirtual

Create copy of object.

This method is virtual copy constructor. It allows for safe copying of objects. In other words, KSPlanet object stored in SkyObject pointer will be copied as KSPlanet.

Each subclass of SkyObject MUST implement clone method. There is no checking to ensure this, though.

Returns

pointer to newly allocated object. Caller takes full responsibility for deallocating it.

Reimplemented from KSAsteroid.

Definition at line 48 of file kspluto.cpp.

findGeocentricPosition()

bool KSPluto::findGeocentricPosition ( const KSNumbers * num, const KSPlanetBase * Earth = nullptr )

overrideprotectedvirtual

A custom findPosition() function for Pluto.

Computes the values of the orbital elements on the requested date, and calls KSAsteroid::findGeocentricPosition() using those elements.

Parameters

num	time-dependent values for the desired date
Earth	planet Earth (needed to calculate geocentric coords)

Returns

true if position was successfully calculated.

Reimplemented from KSAsteroid.
