Future IERS Products Implementation of the IAU 2000 Resolutions
نویسنده
چکیده
On one hand, the new resolutions will have an impact on the software packages used by the analysis centers of the various services (IVS, IGS, ILRS, IDS) to compute their EOP series and the definition and conventions concerning the EOP estimates to be reported to the IERS and, on the other hand, there will be an impact on the IERS products themselves. In this paper we will mainly focus on the latter topic.

The adoption of ICRS on 1 January 1998: meaning and consequences
As of 1 January 1998, the celestial reference system adopted by the IAU will be based on a set of extragalactic directions, replacing the Fundamental Katalog No 5 (FK5) that gave star coordinates in a reference system (referred to as equator and equinox J2000) based primarily on the dynamics of the solar system. This change is deeper than a mere replacement of a reference system by a better one...
متن کاملBeyond the standard IAU framework
We discuss three conceivable scenarios of extension and/or modification of the IAU relativistic resolutions on time scales and spatial coordinates beyond the Standard IAU Framework. These scenarios include: (1) the formalism of the monopole and dipole moment transformations of the metric tensor replacing the scale transformations of time and space coordinates; (2) implementing the parameterized...
متن کاملThe Astronomical Units
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 length (ua) and mass (MSun) within the context of the recent IAU Resolutions on reference systems and the use of modern observations in the solar system. We especially look at a possible re-definition of the ua as an astro...
متن کاملThe Future of Space Astrometry
The future of space-based astrometric missions appears to be very promising. Three missions were described at IAU Colloquium 180. These are the Full-sky Astrometric Mapping Explorer (FAME), the Space Interferometry Mission (SIM) and the Global Astrometric Interferometer for Astrophysics (GAIA) missions. These missions will substantially improve the accuracy of global astrometric measurements ma...

The IERS with all its different components and products, ranging from the definition and realization of the reference frames (ITRF and ICRF), over EOPs and global geophysical fluid data all the way to conventions, is in a unique position to contribute in an essential way to the integration and combination efforts that are necessary to cope with the next generation of scientific missions and cha...
