Where clasue with julian date or convert julian date to date time

I have a user that need a report that pulls transactions between a certain time, say 0600 - 1600. The problem I have is that the date/time in the table is julian date. How can I select records just within those hours? Do I need to convert the julian date to date/time?

For example, here is one of the julian dates in the table: 2456020.5005

I would want to run a query similar to:

select *
from table1
where juliandate between 0600 and 1600

Thanks!

2456020.5005 does not seem to be a Julian Date. Julian Dates are in the format YYDDD or YYYYJJJ, where YY or YYYY is the year and JJJ is the number of days since the beginning of the year.
