Abstract
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.
