They quote (Formula presented) for (Formula presented) after making a 0.3 cm correction for the perturbation of the Earth-Moon system by solar radiation pressure. We use Vokrouhlicky’s value 16 which is closer to 0.4 cm and adjust their number accordingly to be on the same basis with respect to this effect.PRVDAQ
