Synthesis of pulsar scales for universal time

  • TIME AND FREQUENCY MEASUREMENTS
  • Published:
Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

A new approach to defining universal time in terms of observed intervals of pulsar time and measured parameters of the earth’s rotation is proposed. The identity of pulsar scales of universal time UT1 determined from equivalent parameters of the earth’s rotation is demonstrated. Computational relationships are derived for determining the parameters of pulsar scales of universal time and evaluating their errors.
