摘要
A numerical solution to the Earth＇s precession in a relativistic framework for a long time span is presented here. We obtain the motion of the solar system in the Barycentric Celestial Reference System by numerical integration with a symplectic in- tegrator. Special Newtonian corrections accounting for tidal dissipation are included in the force model. The part representing Earth＇s rotation is calculated in the Geocentric Celestial Reference System by integrating the post-Newtonian equations of motion published by Klioner et al. All the main relativistic effects are included following Klioner et al. In particular, we consider several relativistic reference systems with cor- responding time scales, scaled constants and parameters. Approximate expressions for Earth＇s precession in the interval ~1 Myr around J2000.0 are provided. In the interval 4-2000 years around J2000.0, the difference compared to the P03 precession theory is only several arcseconds and the results are consistent with other long-term precession theories.
