TDB is now ( since 2006 ) defined as a linear scaling of Barycentric Coordinate Time ( TCB ), and a feature that distinguishes TDB from TCB is that TDB, when observed from the Earth's surface, has a difference from Terrestrial Time ( TT ) that is about as small as can be practically arranged with consistent definition: the differences are mainly periodic, and overall will remain at less than 2 milliseconds for several millennia.

TDB and is
The comparison of the ephemeris with the measured positions leads to a value for the speed of light in astronomical units, which is AU / d ( TDB ).
* Barycentric Dynamical Time ( TDB ) is similar to TDT but includes relativistic corrections that move the origin to the barycenter.
Barycentric Dynamical Time ( TDB ), a form of atomic time, is now used in the construction of the ephemerides of the planets and other solar system objects, for two main reasons.
First, these ephemerides are tied to optical and radar observations of planetary motion, and the TDB time scale is fitted so that Newton's laws of motion, with corrections for general relativity, are followed.
The day was also redefined to be exactly 86400 SI seconds when measured at mean sea level on the Earth: in practice, it is measured in Barycentric Dynamical Time ( TDB ).
Barycentric Dynamical Time ( TDB ) is a relativistic coordinate time scale, intended for astronomical use as a time standard to take account of time dilation when calculating orbits and astronomical ephemerides of planets, asteroids, comets and interplanetary spacecraft in the Solar System.
As of the beginning of 2011, the difference between TDB and TCB is about 16. 6 seconds.
where L = 1. 550519768, TDB = − 6. 55 s, T = 2443144. 5003725, and JD is the TCB Julian date ( that is, a quantity which was equal to T on 1977 January 1 00: 00: 00 TAI at the geocenter and which increases by one every 86400 seconds of TCB ).
TDB is a successor of Ephemeris Time ( ET ), in that ET can be seen ( within the limits of the lesser accuracy and precision achievable in its time ) to be an approximation to TDB as well as to Terrestrial Time ( TT ) ( see Ephemeris time-Implementations ).
It has been argued that the smallness of this difference makes for a lower risk of damage if TDB is ever confused with TT, compared to the possible damage of confusing TCB and TT, which have a relative linear drift of about 0. 5 second per year, ( the difference was close to zero at the start of 1977, and is now ( 2009 ) over a quarter-minute, increasing ).
) Adapting the large body of existing software to change from TDB to TCB is a formidable task, and as of 2002 many calculations continue to use TDB in some form.
) Adapting the large body of existing software to change from TDB to TCG is a formidable task, and as of 2002 many calculations continue to use TDB in some form.
TDB and now
TDB according to the 2006 redefinition can now be treated as equivalent, for practical astronomical purposes, to the long-established JPL ephemeris time argument T < sub > eph </ sub > as implemented in JPL Development Ephemeris DE405 ( in use as the official basis for planetary and lunar ephemerides in the Astronomical Almanac, editions for 2003 and succeedng years ).
) In addition, TDB was to have ( as observed / evaluated at the Earth's surface ), over the long term average, the same rate as TDT ( now TT ).
TDB and since
In 2006, after a history of multiple time-scale definitions and deprecation since the 1970s, a redefinition of TDB was approved by the IAU.
TDB and 2006
IAU resolution 3 of 2006 defines TDB as a linear transformation of TCB.
TDB and defined
TDB applies to the Solar-System-barycentric reference frame, and was first defined in 1976 as a successor to the ( non-relativistic ) former standard of ephemeris time ( adopted by the IAU in 1952 and superseded 1976 ).
TDT and TDB were defined in a series of resolutions at the same 1976 meeting of the International Astronomical Union.
It was eventually realized that TDB was not well defined because it was not accompanied by a general relativistic metric and because the exact relationship between TDB and TDT had not been specified.
TDB and Barycentric
In 1976 the IAU resolved that the theoretical basis for its current ( 1952 ) standard of Ephemeris Time was non-relativistic, and that therefore, beginning in 1984, Ephemeris Time would be replaced by two relativistic timescales intended to constitute dynamical timescales: Terrestrial Dynamical Time ( TDT ) and Barycentric Dynamical Time ( TDB ).
For practical purposes the length of the ephemeris second can be taken as equal to the length of the second of Barycentric Dynamical Time ( TDB ) or Terrestrial Time ( TT ) or its predecessor TDT.
It was the counterpart to Barycentric Dynamical Time ( TDB ), which was a time standard for Solar system ephemerides, to be based on a dynamical time scale.
For the calculation of ephemerides, TDB was officially recommended to replace ET, but deficiencies were found in the definition of TDB ( though not affecting T < sub > eph </ sub >), and these led to the IAU defining and recommending further time scales, Barycentric Coordinate Time ( TCB ) for use in the solar system as a whole, and Geocentric Coordinate Time ( TCG ) for use in the vicinity of the Earth.
The new time scale to supersede ET for planetary ephemerides was to be Barycentric Dynamical Time ( TDB ).
It was intended as one of the replacements for the ill-defined Barycentric Dynamical Time ( TDB ).
It was intended as one of the replacements for the ill-defined Barycentric Dynamical Time ( TDB ).
TDB and TCB
TCB diverges from both TDB and TT.
TCB progresses faster at a differential rate of about 0. 5 second / year, while TDB and TT remain close.
: TDB = TCB − L ×( JD − T )× 86400 + TDB
TCB was intended as a replacement for TDB, and TCG was its equivalent for use in near-Earth space.
Arguments have been put forward for the continued practical use of TDB rather than TCB based on the very small size of the difference between TDB and TT, not exceeding 0. 002 second, which can be neglected for many applications.
TDB and ),
The Travancore Devaswom Board ( TDB ), a government owned body, administers the temple.
In 1975, the inter-sessional oversight body of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development ( UNCTAD ), the Trade and Development Board ( TDB ), endorsed a recommendation of an UNCTAD Ad hoc Group of Governmental Experts which were that UNCTAD “ be invited to participate in the multilateral debt negotiations on the same basis as the representatives of other international organizations ”.
In November 2011 Bloomberg announced the formation of " Bloomberg TV Mongolia " in partnership with Trade and Development Bank of Mongolia ( TDB ), the oldest and one of the largest commercial banks in Mongolia.
TDB and from
TDB differs from TT only in periodic terms.
TDB in the form of the very closely analogous, and practically equivalent, time scale T < sub > eph </ sub > continues to be used for the important DE405 planetary and lunar ephemerides from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

TDB and when
In particular, time intervals measured on the surface of the Earth ( terrestrial time, TT ) are not constant when compared to the motions of the planets: the terrestrial second ( TT ) appears to be longer in Northern Hemisphere winter and shorter in Northern Hemisphere summer when compared to the " planetary second " ( conventionally measured in barycentric dynamical time, TDB ).
The debate ended in September 1980 when TDB Resolution 222 ( XXI ) was adopted by consensus.
TDB and Earth's
Values quoted in barycentric dynamical time ( TDB ) or equivalent time scales such as the T < sub > eph </ sub > of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory ephemerides represent the mean values that would be measured by an observer on the Earth's surface ( strictly, on the surface of the geoid ) over a long period of time.
