  Barycentric Dynamical Time - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Barycentric Dynamical Time (TDB) was defined by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) in 1976 to be used as the relativistic replacement for the non-relativistic Ephemeris Time which had been used in the ephemerides starting in 1960.
Terrestrial Dynamical Time (TDT) and TDB were defined in a series of resolutions at the same meeting of the International Astronomical Union.
Despite IAU recommendations that TCB be used for all further calculations of solar system ephemerides, as of 2002 TDB and Ephemeris Time continue to be used, the latter by the producer of the important DE200 ephemeris and its successors at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Barycentric Coordinate Time (TCB) was defined in 1991 by the International Astronomical Union as one of the replacements for the ill-defined Barycentric Dynamical Time (TDB).
TCB is the timescale which would be produced by a clock ticking SI seconds at rest in a coordinate frame co-moving with the barycenter of the solar system.
The relationship between TCB and Terrestrial Time (TT) is defined with a fully general relativistic metric.

The astrometric radial velocity refers to the variation of the coordinates of the source, and therefore depends on the chosen coordinate system and time scale.
For example, "radial velocity" may be defined as the rate of change in distance with respect to "time".

In the graph, there are four dimensions--three variables are depicted in the triangular coordinates on the "floor" of the data space, while the Y variable is represented as a vertical axis as in the Cartesian (rectangular) coordinate system.
As in some other higher-dimensional graphs, in the density plot using Barycentric coordinates, the presence or absence of interaction effects can be judged by seeing whether the mesh surface is flat or curved.
The "time" dimension can be designated as a variable where the values of the variable are used to illustrate change.

For example, to do a parallel projection of a scene onto a viewing rectangle, you can just discard the Z coordinate (divide by depth), and "clip" the objects to the viewing rectangle (discard portions that lie outside the region).
The obvious but wrong method is to loop over the pixels in the source image, transform each coordinate, and copy the pixel to the destination.
