    Calculate barycentric velocity correction.
    
    This function calculates the motion of an observer in
    the direction of a star. In contract to :py:func:`baryvel`
    and :py:func:`baryCorr`, the rotation of the Earth is
    taken into account.
    
    .. note:: This function was ported from the REDUCE IDL package.
              See Piskunov & Valenti 2002, A&A 385, 1095 for a detailed
              description of the package and/or visit
              http://www.astro.uu.se/~piskunov/RESEARCH/REDUCE/
    
    .. warning:: Contrary to the original implementation the longitude
                 increases toward the East and the right ascension is
                 given in degrees instead of hours. The JD is given as is,
                 in particular, nothing needs to be subtracted.
    
    Parameters
    ----------
    obs_long : float
        Longitude of observatory (degrees, **eastern** direction is positive)
    obs_lat : float
        Latitude of observatory [deg]
    obs_alt : float
        Altitude of observatory [m]
    ra2000 : float
        Right ascension of object for epoch 2000.0 [deg]
    dec2000 : float
        Declination of object for epoch 2000.0 [deg]
    jd : float
        Julian date for the middle of exposure.
    
    Returns
    -------
    Barycentric correction : float
        The barycentric correction accounting for the rotation
        of the Earth, the rotation of the Earth's center around
        the Earth-Moon barycenter, and the motion of the Earth-Moon 
        barycenter around the center of the Sun [km/s].
    HJD : float
        Heliocentric Julian date for middle of exposure.

    Notes
    -----

    :IDL REDUCE - Documentation:


    Calculates heliocentric Julian date, barycentric and heliocentric radial
    velocity corrections from:
    
    INPUT:
    <OBSLON> Longitude of observatory (degrees, western direction is positive)
    <OBSLAT> Latitude of observatory (degrees)
    <OBSALT> Altitude of observatory (meters)
    <RA2000> Right ascension of object for epoch 2000.0 (hours)
    <DE2000> Declination of object for epoch 2000.0 (degrees)
    <JD> Julian date for the middle of exposure
    [DEBUG=] set keyword to get additional results for debugging
    
    OUTPUT:
    <CORRECTION> barycentric correction - correction for rotation of earth,
       rotation of earth center about the earth-moon barycenter, earth-moon 
       barycenter about the center of the Sun.
    <HJD> Heliocentric Julian date for middle of exposure
    
    Algorithms used are taken from the IRAF task noao.astutils.rvcorrect
    and some procedures of the IDL Astrolib are used as well.
    Accuracy is about 0.5 seconds in time and about 1 m/s in velocity.
    
    History:

    2005-January-13   Kudryavtsev   Made more accurate calculation of the sidereal time.
                                    Conformity with MIDAS compute/barycorr is checked.
