On the determination of ephemeris time: a correction
Abstract
This note contains a correction to a previous paper in which recommendations were made for the determination of Ephemeris Time. The statements in that paper on the equinox to be used in reducing the lunar observations are erroneous. A definite numerical formula for reducing modern observations, referred to the FK1 system, to the system of Newcomb's Fundamental Catalogue is proposed.
