The astronomical units
N. Capitaine, B. Guinot
The IAU-1976 System of astronomical constants includes three astronomical units (i.e. for time, mass and length). This paper reports on the status of the astronomical unit of lengt…
Temporal variations of the gravity field and Earth precession-nutation
G. Bourda, N. Capitaine
Due to the accuracy now reached by space geodetic techniques, and also considering some modelisations, the temporal variations of some Earth Gravity Field coefficients can be deter…
Precession, nutation, and space geodetic determination of the Earth's variable gravity field
G. Bourda, N. Capitaine
Precession and nutation of the Earth depend on the Earth's dynamical flattening, H, which is closely related to the second degree zonal coefficient, J2 of the geopotential. A small…
Comments on the ERA-2005 numerical theory of Earth rotation
P. M. Mathews, N. Capitaine, V. Dehant
Two papers recently published in Celestial Mechanics (Krasinsky 2006, and Krasinsky and Vasilyev 2006) have presented a model for Earth-rotation variations, called ERA-2005, based…
The IAU 2000 resolutions for astrometry, celestial mechanics and metrology in the relativistic framework: explanatory supplement
M. Soffel, S. A. Klioner, G. Petit +17
This paper discusses the IAU Resolutions B1.3, B1.4, B1.5 and B1.9 (2000) that were adopted during the 24th General Assembly in Manchester, 2000 and provides details and explanatio…
