| 内容記述 | It is shown that the derived terrestrial longitude zero point and UT1 rate will be different when determined by classical optical and space techniques so long as the precession constant and equinox offset and drift are imperfectly known. For the uncertainty of the new IAU precession constant, this inconsistency is expected to be nearly 0.04 arcsec in longitude and 0.1 ms/yr in UT1 rate. The consistency of constants does not guarantee consistent results. The classical practice of defining Greenwich Mean Sidereal Time (GMST) as invariant with respect to a fixed equinox if the longitude and UT1 results from the inertial techniques are to be stable against changes in the precession constant. One form for GMST is given. |
