A New Nutation Series for a Rigid Earth Model
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
A new nutation series for a rigid Earth model was derived from a new and highly accurate tidal potential series. A new second order theory for the nutational amplitudes of rotation-, figure- and angular momentum-axis based on tidal amplitudes is formulated. Amplitudes larger than 0.45μas are taken into account leading to a series with 699 terms. The new series may serve as test of other ones that were recently published in the literature.
