Abstract

The barycentric dynamical reference system (BDRS) is a space–time reference system whose origin agrees with the solar system barycenter. Note that the BDRS is not yet an IAU-adopted name, in contrast to BCRS and GCRS; often, it is called conventional dynamical realization of the ICRS, a name that however lacks the reference to the barycenter.
