Scale of pulsar time.
Abstract
A new astronomical time scale is proposed: the pulsar-time scale, whose standards are specially chosen pulsars with highly stable periods. It is shown that the pulsar-time scale may provide more accurate determinations of time intervals and moments than the UT and ET scales, and can be used to improve the determination of the ephemerides of solar-system planets.
