SLA_GALEQ - Galactic to J2000 $\alpha,\delta$

ACTION:
Transformation from IAU 1958 galactic coordinates to J2000.0 FK5 equatorial coordinates.

CALL:
CALL sla_GALEQ (DL, DB, DR, DD)

GIVEN:

DL,DB D galactic longitude and latitude $[\,l^{I\!I},b^{I\!I}\,]$

RETURNED:

DR,DD D J2000.0 $[\,\alpha,\delta\,]$

NOTES:
1.
All arguments are in radians.
2.
The equatorial coordinates are J2000.0 FK5. Use the routine sla_GE50 if conversion to B1950.0 FK4 coordinates is required.
