  1. Earth Orientation Parameters fromLunar Laser Ranging Liliane Biskupek Jürgen Müller

  2. Contents • Model and analysis • Nutation • Earth rotation from LLR data by daily decomposition method • Conclusions 16th International Workshop on Laser Ranging, Poznań, 13.10. - 17.10.2008

  3. rreflector rEM d rstation Model • model based upon Einstein's theory • transformation between reference systems • (Earth, Moon, inertial) • transformation between time systems • orbital motion of the solar system bodies • rotation of Earth and Moon • gravitational time delay (Shapiro effect) 16th International Workshop on Laser Ranging, Poznań, 13.10. - 17.10.2008

  4. Analysis • weighted least-squares adjustment:  determination of the parameter of Earth-Moon system (ca. 180) • coordinates of LLR stations and retro-reflector arrays • parameters of physical librations and orbit of the Moon • orbit / mass of the Earth-Moon system, • lowest mass multipole moments of the Moon • long-periodic nutation parameters • relativistic parameters 16th International Workshop on Laser Ranging, Poznań, 13.10. - 17.10.2008

  5. Analysis • weighted least-squares adjustment:  determination of the parameter of Earth-Moon system (ca. 180) • coordinates of LLR stations and retro-reflector arrays • parameters of physical librations and orbit of the Moon • orbit / mass of the Earth-Moon system, • lowest mass multipole moments of the Moon • long-periodic nutation parameters • relativistic parameters residuals of standard solution 16th International Workshop on Laser Ranging, Poznań, 13.10. - 17.10.2008

  6. Standard solution 2008 • weighted residuals of data 12.1969 - 03.2008 (16230 normal points) 16th International Workshop on Laser Ranging, Poznań, 13.10. - 17.10.2008

  7. Nutation • Fitting for different period of nutation coefficients • 18.6 years, 9.3 years, 1 year, 182.6 days,13.6 days Nj : multiplier, Fj : Delaunay parameter 16th International Workshop on Laser Ranging, Poznań, 13.10. - 17.10.2008

  8. Nutation 16th International Workshop on Laser Ranging, Poznań, 13.10. - 17.10.2008

  9. Nutation 16th International Workshop on Laser Ranging, Poznań, 13.10. - 17.10.2008

  10. Earth rotation from LLR data • use of different EOP series (IERS EOP C04, COMB2006) as input in global adjustment • analysis of the post-fit residuals to determine corrections for Earth rotation DUT0 and variation of latitude VOL • use of determined VOL corrections in own analysis to improve the results 16th International Workshop on Laser Ranging, Poznań, 13.10. - 17.10.2008

  11. Data sets of EOP (1) 16th International Workshop on Laser Ranging, Poznań, 13.10. - 17.10.2008

  12. Data sets of EOP (2) • differences between IERS EOP C04 and COMB2006 xP yP DUT1 16th International Workshop on Laser Ranging, Poznań, 13.10. - 17.10.2008

  13. Daily decomposition (1) • merge of post-fit residuals to daily sets of station-reflector combinations (min. 3) • 1179 daily sets for OCA, Grasse • 752 daily sets for Mc Donald • daily-decomposition method (least-squares adjustment) 16th International Workshop on Laser Ranging, Poznań, 13.10. - 17.10.2008

  14. Daily decomposition (2) 16th International Workshop on Laser Ranging, Poznań, 13.10. - 17.10.2008

  15. Results for VOL • Mc Donald, Texas IERS EOP C04 COMB2006 std = 6.1 mas std = 6.4 mas 16th International Workshop on Laser Ranging, Poznań, 13.10. - 17.10.2008

  16. Corrections in global adjustment • use of VOL as correction in calculation 16th International Workshop on Laser Ranging, Poznań, 13.10. - 17.10.2008

  17. Conclusions • Long-periodic nutation coefficients • differences to the model not yet understood, further investigation needed • comparison with VLBI results • Corrections for DUT0 and VOL are calculated • use of VOL in own analysis does not show significant improvements in the results • test of different filters • calculation of LOD to compare with VLBI results 16th International Workshop on Laser Ranging, Poznań, 13.10. - 17.10.2008
