VLBI studies of the nutations of the earthThe analysis of six years of VLBI data has yielded corrections to the coefficients of the seven largest terms in the IAU 1980 nutation series with periods of one year or less, with accuracies approaching the truncation error of this nutation series (0.1 mas). This paper examines the methods used to extract the nutation information from the VLBI data, the calculation of the uncertanties of the resultant corrections to the nutation-series coefficients, and current research on the earth's nutations.
