Fundamental argument, IERS Conventions (2003): general accumulated precession in longitude.
Status: canonical model.
Though T is strictly TDB, it is usually more convenient to use TT, which makes no significant difference.
The expression used is as adopted in IERS Conventions (2003). It is taken from Kinoshita & Souchay (1990) and comes originally from Lieske et al. (1977).
