Abstract
As a result of an analysis of the five years’ (1910–1915) observation series of Banachie-wicz I determined the constants of the physical libration and figure of the Moon, i.e. its mechanical ellipticity, the mean radius of its disc, the inclination of its rotation axis to the axis of the ecliptic, and the coordinates of the crater Mösting A, which was observed with Bessel’s method. Beside these fundamental parameters I cleared out the subject of Yakovkin’s effect and tried to determine the amplitude and the phase of the free libration in longitude.
