Fr.: constante d'aberration diurne
The quantity 0’’.3200 ρ cos φ’, where ρ is the geocentric distance of the observer measured in units of → equatorial radius the Earth and φ’ is the observer’s → geocentric latitude. The numerical part is equal to 2πa csc1’’ / (cP), where a is the equatorial radius of the Earth, P is its → sidereal period of rotation, and c is the → speed of light in vacuum. See also: → constant; → diurnal; → aberration. |
