This version implements the resolutions on astronomical reference systems and Earth rotation models passed at the IAU General Assemblies in 1997, 2000, and 2006.

[1] Basic-level subroutines supply the values of fundamental variables, such as the nutation angles and the heliocentric positions of Solar System bodies for specific epoches.

For example, "Pocket Stars", an astronomy software for Smartphone and PDA platforms, used the NOVAS as its astrometry engine.

[5] SuperNOVAS is a fork of NOVAS C 3.1, maintained by Attila Kovács at the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian since 2024.

It aims to be a successor of NOVAS for C/C++, providing continued development, bug fixes, new features, improved usability, thread safety, and online documentation.
