This paper presents a new theory of the libration of the Moon, completely analytical with respect to the harmonic coefficients of the lunar gravity field. This field is represented through its third degree harmonics for the torque due to the Earth (second degree for the torque due to the Sun).The orbital motion of the Moon is described by the ELP 2000 solution (Chapront-Touzé, 1980) of the main problem of lunar theory.the physical libration variables are obtained as Poisson series and comparisons with the results of Eckhardt (Eckhardt, 1981) and Migus (Migus, 1980) are presented.  相似文献

Attention is drawn to the absence in literature of the precise definitions of selenographic and celestial selenocentric coordinate systems. In certain cases inaccuracies in the formulation of the first Cassini law occur. This is due to the fact that the principal directions dealt with in the theory of lunar rotation are being constantly confused. A clear-cut definition of the principal coordinate systems concerned with the lunar rotation is given. It is indicated that there is no necessity in a special astronomical time service on the Moon. Since the future expeditions to the Moon will be able to keep terrestrial time, the problem of the hour angle is simply solved by the Formula (11).  相似文献

Analytical methods for the orbits of artificial satellites of the Moon   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
The motion of a close artificial satellite of the Moon is considered. The principal perturbations taken into account are caused by the nonsphericity of the Moon and the attraction of the Earth and the Sun. To begin with, the expansions of the disturbing functions due to the nonsphericity of the primary body and the action of the disturbing mass-point body have been derived. The second expansion is produced in terms of the Keplerian elements of a satellite and the spherical coordinates of the disturbing body. Both expansions are valid for an arbitrary reference plane. The motion of a satellite of the Moon is studied in the selenocentric coordinate system referred to the Lunar equator and rotating with respect to the fixed ecliptic system. However, the coordinate exes in the equatorial plane are chosen so that the angular speed of rotation of the system is small. The motion of the satellite is described by means of the contact elements which enable one to utilize the conventional Lagrange's planetary equations and may be regarded as the generalization of the notion of the osculating elements to the case of the disturbing function depending not only o the coordinates and the time but on the velocities as well. Two methods are proposed to represent the motion of Lunar satellites over long intervals of time: the von Zeipel method and the Euler method of analytical integration with application of the variation-of-elements technique at every step of integration. The second method is exposed in great detail.Presented at the Meeting of Commission 7 of the IAU on Analytical Methods for the Orbits of Artificial Celestial Objects 14-th General Assembly of the IAU, Brighton, 1970.  相似文献

The need for precise definition of lunar reference systems is stressed and the principles on which systems of lunar coordinates could be based are established. Differences between coordinate systems defined by the dynamical properties of the lunar configuration and the rotational motion of the lunar globe about its centre of gravity are outlined, and rigorous mathematical formulae relating those systems have been developed. The principles of reduction of measurements are outlined and in the Appendix the absolute coordinates obtained for 700 lunar features are presented.Paper presented to the NATO Advanced Study Institute on Lunar Studies, Patras, Greece, September 1971.  相似文献

On the basis of large-scale star-calibrated lunar photographs the rectangular selenoequatorial coordinates of the centre of the figure of lunar marginal zone have been obtained with reference to its mass centre, the position of which has been computed by the ephemerides j = 2 and LURE-2. A new definition method of lunar mass centre coordinates by photographic observation in system j = 2 and LURE-2 is proposed.  相似文献

The analysis of range or Doppler data between sites on the Earth and Moon requires an accurate computation of the lunar orbit and detailed models of the orientation of the Earth and Moon. Models constructed to understand range and range rate can lack detail, but if they include the largest lunar orbit variations, tracking stations on a rotating Earth, and lunar sites on a synchronously rotating Moon, then they will display the largest effects for orbit elements, Earth orientation, tracking station locations, and lunar site coordinates. The range and range rate are expanded into periodic series. To understand accurate solutions, the largest periodic terms that are sensitive to various solution parameters indicate the sensitivity of data to solution parameters and the time spans needed for their determination. Conclusions include: cylindrical coordinates work well for sites on the rapidly rotating Earth, but Cartesian coordinates are more natural for the synchronously rotating Moon since the series for the three coordinate projections are distinct. For range and range rate data, daily, semimonthly, monthly, and longer periods are present. For Doppler data, the daily periods may be stronger and more useful than the long periods, particularly for terms associated with the terrestrial tracking station. Doppler data do not determine the lander coordinate toward the Earth well. Observational strategies for range and Doppler data are not identical. For all data types, one wishes a variety of hour angles, lunar declinations, times of month, and longer periods. A long span of high-quality range data can improve the lunar orbit, orientation of the Earth’s equator, and physical librations. The locations of new lunar sites or new tracking stations can be determined from shorter spans of data.  相似文献

At present the fundamental lunar ephemeris is based on Brown's theory of the motion of the Moon with improvements based on the bypassing of Brown's Tables, the removal of the great empirical term, the substitution of the relevant constants of the IAU system of astronomical constants and the retransformation of Brown's series in rectangular coordinates to spherical coordinates. Even so this ephemeris does not represent adequately the recent range and range-rate radio observations, and it will be inadequate for use in the analysis of laser observations of corner reflectors on the Moon. Numerical integrations for these purposes have already been made at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, but improved theoretical developments are also required; new solutions of the main problem are in hand elsewhere. Work at H.M. Nautical Almanac Office is aimed at obtaining improved values of the constants of the lunar orbit by a rediscussion of occultation observations made since 1943 and at the redevelopment of the series for the planetary perturbations using more precise theories of the motion of the Sun and planets. The techniques and preliminary results of exploratory numerical integrations were briefly described.Presented at the Conference on Celestial Mechanics, Oberwolfach, Germany, 17–23 August, 1969.  相似文献

Among the lunar laser range measurements obtained during the past six years at McDonald Observatory, those available cover the period August 1969-November 1974, being 1377 normal observations made on the three Apollo reflectors and that of Lunokhod II. The fit of these data led to a rms residual of 55 cm. In this study, a large number of parameters have been resolved, including the geocentric coordinates of the telescope, the selenocentric coordinates of each of the reflectors, as well as orbital elements of the Moon. In addition, the interest has been directed more specially towards the study of the rotational motion of the Moon and particularly the problem of its free librations. The performed resolutions give the evidence of the three modes of free oscillations. The determined amplitudes arise to 1.7 in longitude and 0.5 and 8.7 in latitude, with the respective periods of 2.9 years, 27.3 days and 75 years. In connection with these parameters, the fittings determined also the most of part of elements of lunar gravitational field: the moment of inertia parameters and, and a number of the third degree harmonics. These new results should now permit a research on the implications of these oscillations effects, concerning the impact history of the Moon and the properties of its internal structure. On the basis of the amplitudes determined here, one can already estimate an order of the magnitude for theQ dissipation coefficient comparable with that determined from seismic studies of the Moon.  相似文献

Differential very-long-baseline interferometric observations of signals from Apollo Lunar Surface Experiment Package telemetry transmitters will yield the relative projected positions of the transmitters with uncertainty of only 1-3 m, set mainly by uncertainty of the lunar ephemeris. Noise and systematic instrumental errors which in the past affected similar observations have been reduced to the equivalent of a few centimeters on the lunar surface by the development of a new type of differential receiver. Continued observations should yield a determination of the motion of the Moon about its center of mass with uncertainty less than 1 s of selenocentric arc. Improvements (by other means) in our knowledge of the Moon's orbital motion would allow a further order-of-magnitude refinement in the libration and relative position results obtainable by differential VLBI.Communication presented at the conference on Lunar Dynamics and Observational Coordinate Systems held January 15–17, 1973 at the Lunar Science Institute, Houston, Tex.

The aim of this work is to combine the model of orbital and rotational motion of the Moon developed for DE430 with up-to-date astronomical, geodynamical, and geo- and selenophysical models. The parameters of the orbit and physical libration are determined in this work from lunar laser ranging (LLR) observations made at different observatories in 1970–2013. Parameters of other models are taken from solutions that were obtained independently from LLR. A new implementation of the DE430 lunar model, including the liquid core equations, was done within the EPM ephemeris. The postfit residuals of LLR observations make evident that the terrestrial models and solutions recommended by the IERS Conventions are compatible with the lunar theory. That includes: EGM2008 gravitational potential with conventional corrections and variations from solid and ocean tides; displacement of stations due to solid and ocean loading tides; and precession-nutation model. Usage of these models in the solution for LLR observations has allowed us to reduce the number of parameters to be fit. The fixed model of tidal variations of the geopotential has resulted in a lesser value of Moon’s extra eccentricity rate, as compared to the original DE430 model with two fit parameters. A mixed model of lunar gravitational potential was used, with some coefficients determined from LLR observations, and other taken from the GL660b solution obtained from the GRAIL spacecraft mission. Solutions obtain accurate positions for the ranging stations and the five retroreflectors. Station motion is derived for sites with long data spans. Dissipation is detected at the lunar fluid core-solid mantle boundary demonstrating that a fluid core is present. Tidal dissipation is strong at both Earth and Moon. Consequently, the lunar semimajor axis is expanding by 38.20 mm/yr, the tidal acceleration in mean longitude is \(-25.90 {{}^{\prime \prime }}/\mathrm{cy}^2\), and the eccentricity is increasing by \(1.48\times 10^{-11}\) each year.  相似文献

Evaluation of selenographic data obtained with use of different observational means require the formulation of rigorous algorithms connecting the systems of coordinates, which the various methods have been referred to. The lunar principal axes of inertia are suggested as most appropriate for reference in lunar mapping and selenographic coordinate catalogues. The connection between the instantaneous axis of lunar rotation (involved in laser ranging, radar studies, astronomical observations from the surface of the Moon and VLBI observations of ALSEPs), the ecliptic system of coordinates (which in reductions of observations was considered as fixed in space), the Cassini mean selenographic coordinates (to which physical libration measures were referred), the lunar principal axes of inertia and the invariable plane of the solar system is discussed.On leave from the University of Manchester, England.Lunar Science Institute Contribution No. 138.Communication presented at the Conference on Lunar Dynamics and Observational Coordinate Systems, Held January 15–17, 1973, at the Lunar Science Institute, Houston, Tex., U.S.A.  相似文献

On the basis of heliometric observations of the Moon carried out by the author between 1969–1975 a system of the coordinates of 32 lunar craters has been set up which is independent of the scale and orientation. The zero point of these coordinates has been fixed by the position of the crater Mösting A in accordance with Koziel (1967a, b; 1970).  相似文献

Thej=2 lunar ephemeris is based on a flattening of the Earth which is slightly different from the 1964 IAU recommended value. The total effects of Earth-oblateness on the analytical lunar theory are determined, and the corrections, which are about 0.02 in lunar longitude and latitude, are derived.  相似文献

The results of photographic observations of Jupiter’s Galilean satellites made with the 26-inch refractor at the Pulkovo Observatory from 1986 to 2005 are given. Satellite coordinates with respect to Jupiter and the mutual distances between the satellites have been determined. A scale-trale technique that does not require reference stars for the astrometric reduction of measurements has been used. The effect of the Jupiter phase has been taken into account in the jovicentric coordinates. The observation results have been compared with a modern theory of the Galilean satellites’ motions. Systematic observation errors depending on the observation technique have been studied. The intrinsic observation accuracy in the random quotient is characterized by the values 0.041″ over X and Y. The external accuracy of the relative Galilean satellite coordinates determined by comparing the observations with modern ephemerides turned out to be equal to 0.165″, 0.213″ for the Jovicentric coordinates and 0.134″, 0.170″ for the “satellite-satellite” coordinates. The highest accuracy of the relative satellite coordinates is reached at small distances between the satellites which are less than 100″: the corresponding mean-square errors of one observation are equal in to the external convergence to 0.050″, 0.070″. The results of photographic observations have been compared with the first CCD observations of the Jupiter satellites made in 2004 with the 26-inch refractor.  相似文献

According to the incidence and azimuth angles of the Sun during observations of Chinese Chang’E-1 (CE-1) lunar satellite, brightness temperatures (Tb) at different lunar local time observed by the CE-1 multi-channel radiometers, especially at the Sinus Iridum (i.e. Bay of Rainbow) area, are collected from the transformation between the principal and local coordinates at the observed site, which demonstrates the Tb distribution and its diurnal variation. Based on a three-layer radiative transfer model of the lunar media, the CE-1 Tb data at 19.35 and 37.0 GHz channels are applied to invert the physical temperatures of both the dust and the regolith layer at Sinus Iridum area, where might be the CE-3 landing site, at different lunar local times. The physical temperature variations with the lunar local time and other geophysical parameters of lunar layered media are discussed.  相似文献

Lunar Penetrating Radar(LPR) based on the time domain Ultra-Wideband(UWB) technique onboard China's Chang'e-3(CE-3) rover, has the goal of investigating the lunar subsurface structure and detecting the depth of lunar regolith. An inhomogeneous multi-layer microwave transfer inverse-model is established. The dielectric constant of the lunar regolith, the velocity of propagation, the reflection, refraction and transmission at interfaces, and the resolution are discussed. The model is further used to numerically simulate and analyze temporal variations in the echo obtained from the LPR attached on CE-3's rover, to reveal the location and structure of lunar regolith. The thickness of the lunar regolith is calculated by a comparison between the simulated radar B-scan images based on the model and the detected result taken from the CE-3 lunar mission. The potential scientific return from LPR echoes taken from the landing region is also discussed.  相似文献

A new method has been devised to determine the spherical harmonic coefficients of the lunar gravity field. This method consists of a two-step data reduction and estimation process. In the first step, a weighted least-squares empirical orbit determination scheme is applied to Doppler tracking data from lunar orbits to estimate longpperiod Kepler elements and rates. Each of the Kepler elements is represented by an independent function of time. The long-period perturbing effects of the Earth, Sun, and solar radiation are explicitly modeled in this scheme. Kepler element variations estimated by this empirical processor are then ascribed to the non-central lunar gravitation features. Doppler data are reduced in this manner for as many orbits as are available. In the second step, the Kepler element rates are used as input to a second least-squares processor that estimates lunar gravity coefficients using the long-period Lagrange perturbation equations.Pseudo Doppler data have been generated simulating two different lunar orbits. This analysis included the perturbing effects of the L1 lunar gravity field, the Earth, the Sun, and solar radiation pressure. Orbit determinations were performed on these data and long-period orbital elements obtained. The Kepler element rates from these solutions were used to recover L1 lunar gravity coefficients. Overall results of this controlled experiment show that lunar gravity coefficients can be accurately determined and that the method is dynamically consistent with long-period perturbation theory.  相似文献

The lunar soil maturity is the most important parameter of the Moon's surface material. The degree of regolith processing should be taken into account in remote determinations of the chemical and mineralogical surface compositions. However, the possibilities for directly determining the lunar regolith maturity are limited to laboratory studies of the fine fraction and microparticles of samples returned to Earth. In these conditions, the urgency of developing methods for remotely determining the lunar soil maturity increases sharply. The suggested method of using spectropolarimetric data to quantitatively estimate the maturity of the surface material has an advantage that the derived maturity index is determined only by structural parameters of the reflecting layer and is completely free from the effects of chemical and mineralogical surface rock compositions. The reference catalog of spectropolarimetric indices contains values for 92 objects on the Moon's visible hemisphere and includes a wide range of structures with various degrees of maturity of the surface material. We obtained correlations with other maturity indices determined by laboratory and remote sensing techniques and the time scale that represents the correspondence between the spectropolarimetric maturity index and the soil exposure age.  相似文献

The paper briefly describes the purpose and features of the Japanese project ILOM (In-situ Lunar Orientation Measurement) in which it is planned to install the zenith telescope with a CCD lens on one of the poles of the Moon for the observation of stars in order to determine the physical libration of the Moon (PhLM). The studies presented in this paper are the result of the first stage of the theoretical support of the project:
  1. The compilation of the list of stars within the field of view of the telescope during the precessional motion of the lunar pole.
  2. Modeling and analysis of the behavior of stellar tracks during the observation period.
  3. Simulation and testing of the sensitivity of the measured selenographic star coordinates to changes in the parameters of the dynamic model of the Moon and the elastic parameters of the lunar body.
Direct and inverse PhLM problems are discussed. Within the scope of the direct problem visible “daily parallels” and one-year star tracks are calculated. Their behavioral features when observed from the lunar surface are shown. At this stage of the simulation selenographic star coordinates for the four models of the gravitational field of the Moon have been compared, i.e., the model constructed on the basis of the lunar laser ranging (LLR), GLGM-2, LP150Q, and SGM100h. It is shown that even when comparing modern models LP150Q and SGM100h stellar tracks differ from the arc by more than 10 ms of arc. At the stage of the inverse problem, the manifestation of viscoelastic properties of the Moon in selenographic coordinates has been studied. In the spectrum of the simulated residual differences harmonics have been identified which can serve as indicators to refine parameters, Love number k 2 and the delay time characterizing the viscous properties of the lunar body.  相似文献
