Abstract:Long-term precession represents the secular motion of the Earth’s axis for a long time interval. In 2015, we calculated the Earth’s long-term precession in a relativistic framework. However, our previous works involving the ecliptic in the Geocentric Celestial Reference System are deficient, because the natural definition of this ecliptic is still ambiguous. To obtain a long-term precession model in accordance with general relativity, improvements are made including the following: all calculations are no longe… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
