上中天[shàng zhōng tiān]
  1. 在上、下中天观测,地球自转角速度的变化对脉冲星的周期变率的影响较大。

    While observing at upper or lower culmination the effect on the rate of change of the pulsar period becomes larger .

  2. 认为,在原理上卯酉&子午交替观测法测定的纬度值是绝对的,而传统的拱极星上、下中天法不是真正绝对的;

    It is suggested that in principle , the latitude values determined by means of the former method are absolute , but those determined by the latter method are not really absolute .
