Preliminary investigation of the gravitomagnetic effects on the lunar orbit
Abstract
Gravitomagnetic effects are studied in this paper. Starting from the metric in the BCRS and then using the matching method, the metric in the GCRS are derived. Furthermore, we give some estimation of the order of the gravitomagnetic effects on the lunar orbit.
