Bhattacharjee Ayanamsha: A Galactic Center-Calibrated Sidereal Zodiac Framework

#!/usr/bin/env python3
"""
Bhattacharjee Ayanamsha - Pure Reference Implementation
========================================================
Definition: Sidereal zodiac where Sgr A* (Galactic Center) is at 0° Sagittarius.

ASTRONOMICAL DEFINITION:
    The system uses published ICRS coordinates of Sgr A* from Reid & Menten (2003).
    The Swiss Ephemeris is used ONLY for precession calculations.
    
    No external star files (sefstars.txt) are required.
    No swe_fixstar_ut() calls are made.
    All astronomical constants are derived from first principles.

IMPLEMENTATION METHOD:
    Uses Swiss Ephemeris SIDM_USER mode with the Bhattacharjee constant
    derived from first principles. The Swiss Ephemeris handles all precession
    calculations using the IAU 2006 model.

COMPATIBILITY:
    Requires Swiss Ephemeris version that supports SIDM_USER mode
    Tested with pyswisseph 2.05+
