摘要

本文介绍了阿帕奇点天文台月球激光测距操作(APOLLO)从2006年4月到2020年底的15年间的数据。阿波罗通过记录光子从阿帕奇点天文台到月球上五个反向反射器阵列的往返旅行时间来测量地月距离。阿波罗的数据集，结合其他月球激光测距站(LLR) 50年来的测量档案，可以用来探测基本物理，如引力和洛伦兹对称，以及月球本身的特性。我们发现，自2006年以来，APOLLO进行的距离测量的夜间平均精度为1.7 mm，明显优于其他LLR站。

Fifteen Years of Millimeter Accuracy Lunar Laser Ranging with APOLLO: Data Set Characterization

Abstract We present data from the Apache Point Observatory Lunar Laser-ranging Operation (APOLLO) covering the 15 yr span from 2006 April through the end of 2020. APOLLO measures the Earth–Moon separation by recording the round-trip travel time of photons from the Apache Point Observatory to five retro-reflector arrays on the Moon. The APOLLO data set, combined with the 50 yr archive of measurements from other lunar laser ranging (LLR) stations, can be used to probe fundamental physics such as gravity and Lorentz symmetry, as well as properties of the Moon itself. We show that range measurements performed by APOLLO since 2006 have a median nightly accuracy of 1.7 mm, which is significantly better than other LLR stations.

期刊介绍： The Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific (PASP), the technical journal of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific (ASP), has been published regularly since 1889, and is an integral part of the ASP''s mission to advance the science of astronomy and disseminate astronomical information. The journal provides an outlet for astronomical results of a scientific nature and serves to keep readers in touch with current astronomical research. It contains refereed research and instrumentation articles, invited and contributed reviews, tutorials, and dissertation summaries.
