*  Name:
*     palRvlsrk

*  Purpose:
*     Velocity component in a given direction due to the Sun's motion
*     with respect to an adopted kinematic Local Standard of Rest.

*  Language:
*     Starlink ANSI C

*  Type of Module:
*     Library routine

*  Invocation:
*     double palRvlsrk( double r2000, double d2000 )

*  Arguments:
*     r2000 = double (Given)
*        J2000.0 mean RA (radians)
*     d2000 = double (Given)
*        J2000.0 mean Dec (radians)

*  Returned Value:
*     Component of "standard" solar motion in direction R2000,D2000 (km/s).

*  Description:
*     This function returns the velocity component in a given direction
*     due to the Sun's motion with respect to an adopted kinematic
*     Local Standard of Rest. The result is +ve when the Sun is receding
*     from the given point on the sky.

*  Notes:
*     - The Local Standard of Rest used here is one of several
*     "kinematical" LSRs in common use.  A kinematical LSR is the mean
*     standard of rest of specified star catalogues or stellar
*     populations.  The Sun's motion with respect to a kinematical LSR
*     is known as the "standard" solar motion.
*     - There is another sort of LSR, the "dynamical" LSR, which is a
*     point in the vicinity of the Sun which is in a circular orbit
*     around the Galactic centre.  The Sun's motion with respect to
*     the dynamical LSR is called the "peculiar" solar motion.  To
*     obtain a radial velocity correction with respect to the
*     dynamical LSR use the routine sla_RVLSRD.

*     - Delhaye (1965), in "Stars and Stellar Systems", vol 5, p73.
