How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T20034009 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

-
A.
Barycentric Dynamical Time
Barycentric Dynamical Time is a relativistic time scale used in celestial mechanics and ephemerides, defined for an observer at the solar system’s barycenter to accurately model planetary and spacecraft motions.
-
B.
Terrestrial Time
Terrestrial Time is a modern astronomical time standard used for precise calculations of planetary motion and ephemerides, defined in relation to atomic time rather than Earth's rotation.
-
C.
Ephemeris Time
Ephemeris Time is a former astronomical time standard based on the orbital motion of the Earth around the Sun, used to provide a uniform measure of time before being replaced by more precise atomic-based scales.
-
D.
GLONASS Time
GLONASS Time is the official time scale used by Russia’s GLONASS global navigation satellite system, closely aligned with UTC but maintained independently for satellite positioning and timing.
-
E.
Barycentric Celestial Reference System
The Barycentric Celestial Reference System is a relativistic, solar-system–centered coordinate framework used in astronomy and astrometry to precisely describe the positions and motions of celestial bodies with respect to the solar system’s center of mass.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
