All Tables

Table 1: Relevant astronomical and astrophysical parameters used in the text. The value for the Sun's angular momentum J has been obtained from (Pijpers 2003). The planetary data can be retrieved at http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/factsheet/.
Table 2: Gravitomagnetic and classical nodal precession coefficients, in '' cy^-1. The coefficients $\dot\Omega_{.\ell}$ are $\partial\dot\Omega^{J_{\ell}}_{\rm class}/\partial J_{\ell}$ and refer to the classical precessions induced by the oblateness of the central mass. The numerical values of Table 1 have been used in Eqs. (1) and (5) (see below). $\dot\Omega_{\rm class}$ are the nominal centennial rates released at http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/elem_planets.html. They mainly include the N-body secular precessions.
Table 3: Errors in the numerical propagation of the planetary nodal rates averaged over 200 years, in '' cy^-1 (E.M. Standish 2004, private communication).
