Annotation
The amplitude, phase, and period of free liberation and the amplitudes of five fundamental harmonics of forced (annual, semi-annual, …) librations of Mercury in longitude are determined based on the analytical theory of Mercury’s liberation (on an elliptical orbit) in longitude using a high-accuracy complex method for ground-based radar tracking.
