A Comparative Study of Visual and Photoelectric Timing of Occultations
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 30 March 2016
Extract
The timing of occultations of stars by the Moon provide data for the following studies:
(a) Lunar theory - Constants and secular changes of its orbit.
(b) Fundamental star systems - Systematic corrections to equinox and obliquity; individual star corrections.
(c) Rotation of Earth - Comparison of atomic and ephemeris time scales.
With these applications in mind we consider the analysis of the [O-C]’s from occultations.
