Understanding Kernel Components for Heliographic and Heliocentric Coordinates

This document outlines the Kernel Component's supported coordinate systems crucial for astronomical observations. It details heliographic coordinates for logging surface features, primarily used internally for efficiency. Additionally, it explains heliocentric coordinates, focusing on coronal features, and highlights the helioprojective system for image-related tasks. We also cover apparent positioning and telescope pointing, as well as outputs like Mount Azimuth, Elevation positions, and their corresponding velocities. This framework enhances observational accuracy and convenience in solar studies.
