 *
 * Algorithms for the central line is taken from Montenbruck, pp. 179ff.,
 * with the exception, that we consider refraction for the maxima of
 * partial and noncentral eclipses.
 * Geographical positions are referred to sea level / the mean ellipsoid.
 *
 * Errors:
 * - from uncertainty of JPL-ephemerides (0.01 arcsec): 
 *	about 40 meters
 * - from displacement of shadow points by atmospheric refraction:
 *      a few meters 
 * - from deviation of the geoid from the ellipsoid 
 *      a few meters
 * - from polar motion
 *      a few meters
 * For geographical locations that are interesting for observation,
 * the error is always < 100 m.
 * However, if the sun is close to the horizon,
 * all of these errors can grow up to a km or more. 
 * 
 * Function returns:
 * -1 (ERR)	on error (e.g. if swe_calc() for sun or moon fails)
 * 0		if there is no solar eclipse at tjd

 * phase is visible at a given time. 
 * Imagine a situation in northern summer, when the sun illuminates 
 * the northern polar circle. The southernmost point of the core 
 * shadow may then touch the north pole, and therefore the 
 * northernmost point will be more in the south.
 * Note also that with annular eclipses, the northern edge is

Nodes and apsides of planets and moon

Planetary nodes can be defined in three different ways:
a) They can be understood as a direction or as an axis 
  defined by the intersection line of two orbital planes. 
  E.g., the nodes of Mars are defined by the intersection 
  line of Mars' orbital plane with the ecliptic (= the 
  Earths orbit heliocentrically or the solar orbit 
  geocentrically). However, as Michael Erlewine points 
  out in his elaborate web page on this topic 
  (http://thenewage.com/resources/articles/interface.html),
  planetary nodes can be defined for any couple of 
  planets. E.g. there is also an intersection line for the 
  two orbital planes of Mars and Saturn.
  Because such lines are, in principle, infinite, the 
  heliocentric and the geocentric positions of the 
  planetary nodes will be the same. There are astrologers 
  that use such heliocentric planetary nodes in geocentric 
  charts.
  The ascending and the descending node will, in this 
  case, be in precise opposition.

b) The planetary nodes can also be understood in a 
  different way, not as an axis, but as the two points on a 
  planetary orbit that are located precisely on the 
  intersection line of the two planes.
  This second definition makes no difference for the moon or 
  for heliocentric positions of planets, but it does so for 
  geocentric positions. There are two possibilities for 
  geocentric planetary nodes based on this definition. 
  1) The common solution is that the points on the 
    planets orbit are transformed to the geocenter. The 
    two points will not be in opposition anymore, or 
    they will only roughly be so with the outer planets. The 
    advantage of these nodes is that when a planet is in 
    conjunction with its node, then its ecliptic latitude 
    will be zero. This is not true when a planet is in 
    geocentric conjunction with its heliocentric node. 
    (And neither is it always true for the inner planets, 
    i.e. Mercury and Venus.)
  2) The second possibility that nobody seems to have 
    thought of so far: One may compute the points of 
    the earth's orbit that lie exactly on another planet's 
    orbital plane and transform it to the geocenter. The two 
    points will always be in an approximate square.

c) Third, the planetary nodes could be defined as the 
  intersection points of the plane defined by their 
  momentary geocentric position and motion with the 
  plane of the ecliptic. Such points would move very fast 
  around the planetary stations. Here again, as in b)1), 
  the planet would cross the ecliptic and its ecliptic 
  latitude would be 0 exactly when it were in 
  conjunction with one of its nodes.

The Swiss Ephemeris supports the solutions a) and b) 1).

Possible definitions for apsides

a) The planetary apsides can be defined as the perihelion and
  aphelion points on a planetary orbit. For a
  geocentric chart, these points could be transformed 
  from the heliocenter to the geocenter.
b) However, one might consider these points as 
  astrologically relevant axes rather than as points on a 
  planetary orbit. Again, this would allow heliocentric 
  positions in a geocentric chart.

Note: For the "Dark Moon" or "Lilith", which I usually 
define as the lunar apogee, some astrologers give a 
different definition. They understand it as the second focal 
point of the moon's orbital ellipse. This definition does not 
make a difference for geocentric positions, because the 
apogee and the second focus are in exactly the same geocentric 
direction. However, it makes a difference with topocentric 
positions, because the two points do not have same distance. 
Analogous "black planets" have been proposed: they would be the 
second focal points of the planets' orbital ellipses. The 
heliocentric positions of these "black planets" are identical 
with the heliocentric positions of the aphelia, but geocentric 
positions are not identical, because the focal points are 
much closer to the sun than the aphelia.

The Swiss Ephemeris allows to compute the "black planets" as well.

Mean positions

Mean nodes and apsides can be computed for the Moon, the 
Earth and the planets Mercury - Neptune. They are taken 
from the planetary theory VSOP87. Mean points can not be 
calculated for Pluto and the asteroids, because there is no 
planetary theory for them.
 
Osculating nodes and apsides

Nodes and apsides can also be derived from the osculating 
orbital elements of a body, the paramaters that define an  
ideal unperturbed elliptic (two-body) orbit. 
For astrology, note that this is a simplification and 
idealization. 
Problem with Neptune: Neptune's orbit around the sun does not 
have much in common with an ellipse. There are often two 
perihelia and two aphelia within one revolution. As a result, 
there is a wild oscillation of the osculating perihelion (and 
aphelion). 
In actuality, Neptune's orbit is not heliocentric orbit at all. 
The twofold perihelia and aphelia are an effect of the motion of 
the sun about the solar system barycenter. This motion is 
much faster than the motion of Neptune, and Neptune 
cannot react on such fast displacements of the Sun. As a 
result, Neptune seems to move around the barycenter (or a 
mean sun) rather than around the true sun. In fact, 
Neptune's orbit around the barycenter is therefore closer to 
an ellipse than the his orbit around the sun. The same 
statement is also true for Saturn, Uranus and Pluto, but not 
for Jupiter and the inner planets.

This fundamental problem about osculating ellipses of 
planetary orbits does of course not only affect the apsides 
but also the nodes.

Two solutions can be thought of for this problem: 
1) The one would be to interpolate between actual 
  passages of the planets through their nodes and 
  apsides. However, this works only well with Mercury. 
  With all other planets, the supporting points are too far 
  apart as to make an accurate interpolation possible. 
  This solution is not implemented, here.
2) The other solution is to compute the apsides of the 
  orbit around the barycenter rather than around the sun. 
  This procedure makes sense for planets beyond Jupiter, 
  it comes closer to the mean apsides and nodes for 
  planets that have such points defined. For all other 
  transsaturnian planets and asteroids, this solution yields 
  a kind of "mean" nodes and apsides. On the other hand, 
  the barycentric ellipse does not make any sense for 
  inner planets and Jupiter.

The Swiss Ephemeris supports solution 2) for planets and 
asteroids beyond Jupiter.

Anyway, neither the heliocentric nor the barycentric ellipse 
is a perfect representation of the nature of a planetary orbit, 
and it will not yield the degree of precision that today's 
astrology is used to.
The best choice of method will probably be:
- For Mercury - Neptune: mean nodes and apsides
- For asteroids that belong to the inner asteroid belt: 
osculating nodes/apsides from a heliocentric ellipse
- For Pluto and outer asteroids: osculating nodes/apsides 
from a barycentric ellipse

The Moon is a special case: A "lunar true node" makes 
more sense, because it can be defined without the idea of an 
ellipse, e.g. as the intersection axis of the momentary lunar 
orbital plane with the ecliptic. Or it can be said that the 
momentary motion of the moon points to one of the two 
ecliptic points that are called the "true nodes".  So, these 
points make sense. With planetary nodes, the situation is 
somewhat different, at least if we make a difference 
between heliocentric and geocentric positions. If so, the 
planetary nodes are points on a heliocentric orbital ellipse, 
which are transformed to the geocenter. An ellipse is 
required here, because a solar distance is required. In 
contrast to the planetary nodes, the lunar node does not 
require a distance, therefore manages without the idea of an 
ellipse and does not share its weaknesses. 
On the other hand, the lunar apsides DO require the idea of 
an ellipse. And because the lunar ellipse is actually 
extremely distorted, even more than any other celestial 
ellipse, the "true Lilith" (apogee), for which printed 
ephemerides are available, does not make any sense at all. 
(See the chapter on the lunar node and apogee.)

Special case: the Earth

The Earth is another special case. Instead of the motion of 
the Earth herself, the heliocentric motion of the Earth-
Moon-Barycenter (EMB) is used to determine the 
osculating perihelion. 
There is no node of the earth orbit itself. However, there is 
an axis around which the earth's orbital plane slowly rotates 
due to planetary precession. The position points of this axis 
are not calculated by the Swiss Ephemeris.

Special case: the Sun

In addition to the Earth (EMB) apsides, the function 
computes so-to-say "apsides" of the sun, i.e. points on the 
orbit of the Sun where it is closest to and where it is farthest 
from the Earth. These points form an opposition and are 
used by some astrologers, e.g. by the Dutch astrologer 
George Bode or the Swiss astrologer Liduina Schmed. The 
perigee, located at about 13 Capricorn, is called the 
"Black Sun", the other one, in Cancer, the "Diamond".
So, for a complete set of apsides, one ought to calculate 
them for the Sun and the Earth and all other planets. 

The modes of the Swiss Ephemeris function 
swe_nod_aps()

The  function swe_nod_aps() can be run in the following 
modes:
1) Mean positions are given for nodes and apsides of Sun, 
  Moon, Earth, and the up to Neptune. Osculating 
  positions are given with Pluto and all asteroids. This is 
  the default mode.
2) Osculating positions are returned for nodes and apsides 
  of all planets.
3) Same as 2), but for planets and asteroids beyond 
  Jupiter, a barycentric ellipse is used.
4) Same as 1), but for Pluto and asteroids beyond Jupiter, 
  a barycentric ellipse is used.

In all of these modes, the second focal point of the ellipse 
can be computed instead of the aphelion.
Like the planetary function swe_calc(), swe_nod_aps() is 
able to return geocentric, topocentric, heliocentric, or 
barycentric position.

/* This function calculates calculates the maximum possible distance, the

 * geocentrically. With heliocentric calculations, it is based on the momentary
 * Kepler ellipse of the planet. With geocentric calculations, it is based on
 * the Kepler ellipses of the planet and the EMB. The geocentric calculation is
 * rather expensive. 
 *
 * The problem is a bit tricky. The maximum and minimum possible distance of
 * an object from the earth can only be calculated over a limited time range,
 * not over the whole time the solar system exists. Since a scan of the whole
 * available time range is very costly, we should not do that. Alternatively, 
 * one could create a database that provides the minimal and maximal distances
 * for each object. However, the creation and maintenance of such a database 
 * would be expensive, too. In addition, since planetary orbits change over 
 * time, a limited period won't provide a meaningful value.
 *
 * Instead, we determine the maximal and minimal distance from the osculating
 * ellipses of the planet and the Earth-Moon barycentre, assuming that both
 * the planet and the EMB could have any position on its respective ellipse.
 * 
 * Note that instead of the position of the Earth, the position of the EMB
 * is used. Using the true position of the Earth would make the problem 
 * considerably more complicated. Even if this were done, the Swiss Ephemeris
 * still is not able provide the true planets, but ony their barycentres. E.g. 
 * it cannot provide the true position of Jupiter, but only the position of 
 * the barycentre of the Jupiter system. The geocentric difference between 
 * the two is below 0.2 arcsec for all planets.
