Table 1: Precessional quantities determined with different sources. Units: coefficients in arcsecond and time in century.
Table 2: The long-period terms in VSOP87: $At^\alpha\cos (\omega t+\phi)$ . The planetary and lunar arguments are $T =\rm Earth$ , $Ma =\rm Mars$ , $J = \rm Jupiter$ , $S = \rm Saturn$ , D = Delaunay's argument D (the difference of the mean longitudes of Moon and Sun), $L_{\rm Moon} =\rm mean$ longitude of the Moon.
Table 3: Theoretical contributions (from W94, Williams (1995) and MHB) to the precession rates, $r_{\psi }$ and $r_{\epsilon }$ , of the equator used in the present paper.
Table 4: Initial values at J2000.0 used for computing the precession of the equator.
Table 5: Contributions in arcseconds to the precession rates used in different models.
Table 6: Comparisons between solutions for the precession of the equator and expressions for the precession rates.
Table 7: Expressions for the coefficients of the precession quantities.
Table 8: Comparisons between expressions for the basic precession quantities.
