Description:
    The Earth rotation solution SMART97 (Solution du Mouvement de l'Axe de
    Rotation de la Terre) is an analytical solution of the Earth rotation
    in the rigid case. It gives the expressions of precession-nutation and
    rotation of the Earth for the 3 Euler angles {psi}, {omega}, {phi} as
    well as for the quantities p, {epsilon}, {chi}, and the sidereal time.
    For the axis of figure (fig), these 7 quantities are given in the
    dynamical system (dyn) and in the kinematical system (kin). SMART97
    also gives the variables {psi} and {omega}, in the dynamical system,
    for the differences (axis of figure - axis of rotation) (rot) and
    (axis of figure - axis of the angular momentum) (ang). The accuracy of
    the solution is better than 2.2 microarcseconds for all these
    variables over 20000 days, between 1968 and 2023. A program EXAMPLE
    (Fortran 77) is provided which makes use of the subroutine SMART97
    which substitutes the time in the series of the solutions SMART97.
