Abstract:This work supplements the main results given in our paper "The Chandler wobble is a phantom" [7] and refines the reasons for which researchers previously failed in interpreting the physical meaning of observed zenith distance variations. The main reason for the Chandler wobble challenge emergence was that, in analyzing time series with the step multiple of solar day, researchers ignored the nature of the solar day itself. In addition, astrometric instruments used to measure the zenith distance relative the loc… Show more
