| The IAU Working Group on Numerical Standards for Fundamental Astronomy maintains
a website, http://maia.usno.navy.mil/NSFA, |
| which contains an agreed list of `Current Best Estimates' together with detailed
information about the constants, and |
| relevant references. See footnotes below for more details.
|
|
|
| This almanac, in certain circumstances, may not use constants from this list.
The reasons and those constants used will be |
| given at the end of Section L Notes and References.
|
|
|
| The units meter (m), kilogram (kg), and SI second (s) are the units of length,
mass and time in the International System of |

| Units (SI).
|
|
|
| The astronomical unit of time is a time interval of one day (D) of 86400 seconds.
An interval of 36525 days is one Julian |

| century. Some constants that involve time, either directly or indirectly need to
be compatible with the underlying |
| time-scales. In order to specify this (TDB) or (TCB) or (TT), as appropriate, is
included after the unit to indicate that the |

| value of the constant is compatible with the specified time-scale, for example,
TDB-compatible. |

|
|
| #The IAU 2009 System of Astronomical Constants classifies the constants into the
groups shown. This may be redefined and |
| users should check the NSFA website for updates.
|
|
|
| ##The astronomical unit of length (au) in metres is re-defined as a conventional
unit of length (resolution B2, IAU XXVIII GA |
| 2012) in agreement with the value adopted by IAU 2009 Resolution B2; it is to be
used with all time scales such as TCB, TDB, |
| TCG, TT, etc. Also the heliocentric gravitational constant GMS is renamed the
solar mass parameter. Further details are |
| given in Section L Notes and References.
|
|

| ###These values are those of the IAU 2009 System of Astronomical Constants. In
May 2015 new best estimates were agreed (see |
| the NSFA website at http://maia.usno.navy.mil/NSFA/NSFA_cbe.html).
