Class TTScale

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, TimeScale

    public class TTScale
    extends Object
    implements TimeScale
    Terrestrial Time as defined by IAU(1991) recommendation IV.

    Coordinate time at the surface of the Earth. IT is the successor of Ephemeris Time TE.

    By convention, TT = TAI + 32.184 s.

    This is intended to be accessed thanks to the TimeScalesFactory class, so there is no public constructor.
