Abstract

Construction of the New High-Precision Moon Rotation Series at a Long Time Intervals The main purposes of this research are the construction of the new high-precision Moon Rotation Series (MRS2011), dynamically adequate to the DE404/LE404 and the DE406/LE406 ephemeris, over long time intervals. The comparison of the new highprecision Moon Rotation solutions of MRS2011 with the solution of MRS2010 (Pashkevich and Eroshkin, 2010), which is dynamically adequate to the DE200/LE200 ephemeris over 418.9 year time interval, is performed. The dynamics of the rotational motion of the Moon is studied numerically by using Rodrigues-Hamilton parameters over 418.9, 2000 and 6000 years. The numerical solution of the Moon rotation is implemented with the quadruple precision of the calculations. The results of the numerical solution of the problem are compared with the composite semi-analytical theory of the Moon rotation (SMR) (Pashkevich and Eroshkin, 2010) with respect to the fixed ecliptic of epoch J2000. The initial conditions of the numerical integration are taken from SMR. The investigation of the discrepancies is carried out by the least squares and spectral analysis methods for the Newtonian case. All the secular, periodic and Poisson terms, representing the behavior of the residuals, are interpreted as corrections to SMR semi-analytical theory. As a result, the Moon Rotation Series (MRS2011) is constructed, which is dynamically adequate to the DE404/LE404 and the DE406/LE406 ephemeris over 418.9, 2000 and 6000 years. A numerical solution for the Moon rotation is obtained anew with the new initial conditions calculated by means of MRS2011. The discrepancies between the new numerical solution and the semi-analytical solution of MRS2011 do not surpass 20 mas over 418.9 year time interval, 64 mas over 2000 year time interval and 8 arc seconds over 6000 year time interval. Thus, the result of the comparison demonstrates a good consistency of MRS2011 series with the DE/LE ephemeris.

Summary

INTRODUCTION

In the previous research (Pashkevich and Eroshkin, 2010) the high-precision Moon Rotation semi-analytical solutions of MRS2010, dynamically adequate to the DE200/LE200 ephemeris, was constructed over 418.9 year time interval. The main purposes of this research are the construction of the new high-precision Moon Rotation Series (MRS2011), dynamically adequate to the DE404/LE404 and the DE406/LE406 ephemeris, over long time intervals. The mathematical model of the present investigation is identical to that used by Pashkevich and Eroshkin (2010)
