Analytical complements have been brought to Moons’ lunar libration theory concerning tidal effects, direct perturbations due to the Earth’s figure, and indirect non periodic perturbations. Comparisons to JPL numerical integrations DE245 and DE403 have been performed and the residuals treated by frequency analysis, allowing the determination of fitted free libration parameters and numerical complements.
