Table 5: Parameters used in DE405 (and INPOP05) (Col. 2), and in INPOP06 (Col. 3), to compute the tidal effects (see Sects. 2.3.3 and 2.3.5) and the Earth orientation. $\tau _{E21}$ and $\tau _{E22}$ are respectively the Earth's time delays for harmonics (2, 1) and (2, 2), and $\tau _{\rm M}$ is the time delays for the Moon. They are expressed in days and rounded to 10-10. C, M and R are respectively the maximum moment of inertia, the mass and the mean equatorial radius of the Earth.
