Recent resolutions passed by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) on astronomical reference systems, time scales, and Earth rotation models are the most significant set of international agreements in positional astronomy in several decades. These resolutions, the result of over ten years of international research and study, provide a coherent set of foundational standards for the treatment of astrometric data and the modeling of dynamics in the solar system. This circular explains these resolutions and provides a complete set of practical formulas for their implementation. The six main chapters cover relativity, time scales, the fundamental celestial reference system, ephemerides of solar system bodies, precession and nutation, and modeling the Earth's rotation.

    astro-ph.IM 2025-06 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    The SETI@home front end, its coherent search over 123,000 Doppler drift rates, and its five detection types are described with validated sensitivity figures.

  3. The influence of lunar tidal potential on clock frequencies at different positions on Earth

    astro-ph.EP 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

    Calculations show longitude and latitude differences between clocks change their lunar tidal fractional frequency shifts, with Moon longitude affecting phase and amplitude.
