Construction of Relativistic Ephemerides and Applications
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
The present precision of VLBI observations for the Earth rotation, the accuracy of time measurement realised with modern atomic clocks, and the necessity to obtain precise definition of reference systems and links between them, imply that we compute in the near future more accurate ephemerides, based on general relativity theory (GRT), in accordance with the recent IAU resolutions (IAU, 1992). This paper is dedicated to the presentation of semi-analytical integration of the motion of bodies in the Solar system which completes the theories built at the Bureau des Longitudes by (Bretagnon and Francou, 1988), with some applications in the determination of coordinate time scales links.
