Reference Frames [E-Book] : In Astronomy and Geophysics / edited by Jean Kovalevsky, Ivan I. Mueller, Barbara Kolaczek.
This book on reference systems is the first comprehensive review of the problem of celestial and terrestrial reference systems and frames. Over 20 years, the importance of this problem emerged slowly as the accuracy of new observational techniques improved. The topic has already been approached in s...
