Abstract

EPM (Ephemerides of Planets and the Moon) are being constantly developed since 1970s. The new EPM2015 version was published in 2016. It is available publicly at http://iaaras.ru/dept/ephemeris/epm. This version is built using the ERA (Ephemeris Research in Astronomy) software, Version 8. EPM2015 includes the updated model of the orbital and rotational motion of the Moon based on the JPL DE430 lunar model and other up-to-date astronomical, geodynamical, geophysical and selenophysical models. The Moon is considered an elastic body with a molten core. The planetary part of the EPM2015 has been improved by adding the two-dimension asteroid annulus and 30 trans-Neptunian objects (TNO) into the dynamical equations. More than 140000 observations and normal points have been used to refine the parameters of the model, including the recent data from the Cassini and MESSENGER spacecrafts.
