The IAU is also the sole internationally recognised authority for assigning designations to celestial bodies and surface features on such bodies.
International Earth Rotation Service (IERS)
Works to maintain the International Celestial Reference System and Frame, and the International Terrestrial Reference System and Frame, and to provide timely and accurate data on the Earth's orientation for current use and long-term studies. Site describes the group's structure and function.
International Occultation Timing Association - European Section (IOTA/ES)
International Occultation Timing Association (IOTA)
was established to encourage and facilitate the observation of occultations and eclipses. It provides predictions for grazing occultations of stars by the Moon and predictions for occultations of stars by asteroids and planets, information on observing equipment and techniques, and reports to the members of observations made.
