Deduction of a new scale of UT for 1955 - 1974.
Abstract
A method for redetermining the Soviet standard time scale with improved accuracy is developed. For the period from 1955 to 1974 a new standard time scale based on the Soviet Time Service catalog is obtained in the coordinate system of the BIH pole referred to the conventional international origin. A systematic difference between the new standard time scale and the BIH scale is found which is seasonal in nature.
