Systematic effect of the Galactic aberration on the ICRS realization and the Earth orientation parameters

Context. The curvature of the motion of the solar system barycenter around the Galactic center induces an aberration effect varying linearly with time. It can be called the “Galactic aberration” and is also known as the “secular aberration (drift)” or “aberration in proper motions”. This results in a systematic dipole pattern of the apparent proper motions of an ensemble of distant extragalactic objects, which are used to define the International Celestial Reference System (ICRS).
