| Abstract: | Every three years the IAU/IAG Working Group on Cartographic Coordinates and Rotational Elements revises tables giving the
directions of the poles of rotation and the prime meridians of the planets, satellites, minor planets, and comets. This report
introduces improved values for the pole and rotation rate of Pluto, Charon, and Phoebe, the pole of Jupiter, the sizes and
shapes of Saturn satellites and Charon, and the poles, rotation rates, and sizes of some minor planets and comets. A high
precision realization for the pole and rotation rate of the Moon is provided. The expression for the Sun’s rotation has been
changed to be consistent with the planets and to account for light travel time |
