Precession and Nutation from the Analysis of Positions of Extragalactic Radio SourcesCorrections to the Earth's precession and nutation have been derived from VLBI observations of extragalactic sources carried out by JPL's Deep Space Network between 1978 and 1994. The analysis is based on the source right ascensions and declinations given in annual position catalogues. These catalogues result from adopting specific conventions on precession and a nutation model, using VLBI data.
