Conversion mean solar time / right ascension

Hi all!

First post in this forum. First of all, thank you very much for the richness of this library and this forum.

On the project I’m working on, users can define the ascending node of a keplerian orbit with a mean solar time value. Could you please tell me how to convert this data into right ascension with Orekit?

Thanks in advance for your help!

You can look at the meanSolarTime function in the Phasing tutorial.
The code can be browsed here: https://gitlab.orekit.org/orekit/orekit-tutorials/-/blob/master/src/main/java/org/orekit/tutorials/bodies/Phasing.java#L783

I forgot to say that the gmst function in the code above is initialized here: https://gitlab.orekit.org/orekit/orekit-tutorials/-/blob/master/src/main/java/org/orekit/tutorials/bodies/Phasing.java#L136

Welcome @D.C-M !

Also if you want some theoretical background there are equations in part §4.1 of this great paper :wink: .
It was written by @luc with contributions from @pascal.parraud.

Thank you very much for your quick and helpfull reply.
