This is a reflection of the fact that the E-terms embodied in existing star catalogues were computed from a variety of aberration constants. Rather than adopting one of the old constants the latest value is used here. References: 1 Smith, C.A. et al., 1989. Astr.J. 97, 265. 2 Yallop, B.D. et al., 1989. Astr.J. 97, 274.
