Some javascript/style in this post has been disabled (why?)
Hello,
I need to convert IDL Julian day into the date with the normal format (for example: day/month/Year Hour:Minute:Sec)
Some of the data are as follows:

IDL Julian Day
 2450449.54167             
 2450449.58333               
 2450449.62500              
 2450449.66667             
 2450449.70833             
 2450449.75000               
 2450449.79167              
 2450449.83333             
 2450449.87500             
 2450449.91667               
 2450449.95833               
 2450450.00000

Does someone know how to do it?
Thanks in advance,

Matteo

If you are asking about R, try RSiteSearch("julian"), although these do
seem to be just dates. I guess that your origin is 1 January 4713 B.C.
