The first report of the WG was presented to the General Assembly at Montreal in 1979 and published in the Trans. IAU XVIIB, 72-79, 1980. The report with appendices was published in Celestial Mechanics 22, 205-230, 1980. The guiding principles and conventions that were adopted by the Group and the rationale for their acceptance were presented in that report and its appendices. The second report of the Working Group was published in the Trans. IAU XVIIIB, 151-162, 1983, and also with an appendix and references in Celestial Mechanics 29, 309-321, 1983. The following table summarizes the references to all the reports and corrections to them, and the reports are listed in detail below.
In our 2009 report, the WG stated: At the request of various individuals and missions, in the coming triennium the Working Group will consider providing limited updates to its recommendations via its website. This is in order to address a cited need to update recommendations more often than every three years, e.g. for use by operational missions and for updated cartographic products. The WG three times provided formal recommendations to the NASA/DLR/ASI Dawn mission at their request, regarding the coordinate system for Vesta. At the request of then IAU Division F President Giovanni Valsecchi, the WG made a formal recommendation regarding the coordinate system for Vesta. We include a link to that recommendation in the table below and provide a reference farther down in this webpage.
