Scientific paper

A self-consistent theory of solar-system time scales is developed analytically on the basis of a hierarchy of dynamically nonrotating harmonic reference systems in a four-dimensional space-time of general relativity theory. The aim is to relate barycentric and terrestrial time scales to coordinate times in the corresponding general-relativistic reference systems for use in astronomy and geodesy. The theoretical basis of the method is outlined; the construction of barycentric, geocentric, topocentric, and satellite reference systems is explained; the asymptotic matching technique is applied to obtain transformations among the systems; and the practical realization of the systems with length and time units is discussed.
