Abstract
We carried out least squares fits for weekly, fortnightly and monthly values of the scaling factor k/C, using very long baseline interferome try (VLBI) and satellite laser ranging (SLR) data for variations in un iversal time (DELTAUT1) as well as for the time derivative of the DELT AUT1 values (i.e. the variation in the length of day DELTALOD). We als o present numerically derived corrections to the current periodic seri es for DELTAUT1.
