Brent A. Archinal,Michael F. A'Hearn,Edward Bowell,Al Conrad,Guy J. Consolmagno,Régis Courtin,Tetsuya Fukushima,Daniel Hestroffer,J. L. Hilton,G. A. Krasinsky,Gregory A. Neumann,Juergen Oberst,P. K. Seidelmann,Philip J. Stooke,David J. Tholen,Peter C. Thomas,Iwan P. Williams +16 more
TL;DR: The IAU Working Group on Cartographic Coordinates and Rotational Elements (WGPSN) as mentioned in this paper takes into account the IAU working group for planetary system Nomenclature and the International Astronomical Union (IAUWCN) definition of dwarf planets, and introduces improved values for the pole and rotation rate of Mercury, returns the rotation rates of Jupiter to a previous value, and adds the equatorial radius of the Sun for comparison.

Report of the IAU Working Group on Cartographic Coordinates and Rotational Elements: 2015
Brent A. Archinal,C. H. Acton,M. F. A'Hearn,A. Conrad,Guy J. Consolmagno,Thomas C. Duxbury,Daniel Hestroffer,J. L. Hilton,Randolph L. Kirk,Sergei A. Klioner,Dennis D. McCarthy,Karen J. Meech,Juergen Oberst,J. Ping,P. K. Seidelmann,David J. Tholen,Peter C. Thomas,Iwan P. Williams +17 more
TL;DR: This report continues the practice where the IAU Working Group on Cartographic Coordinates and Rotational Elements revises recommendations regarding those topics for the planets, satellites, minor planets, and comets approximately every 3 years, and recommends that planning and efforts be made to make controlled cartographic products.

US Naval Observatory Ephemerides of the Largest Asteroids
TL;DR: In this paper, a new set of ephemerides for 15 of the largest asteroids has been produced for use in the Astronomical Almanac, covering the period from 1800 through 2100, and new masses and densities were determined for 1 Ceres, 2 Pallas, and 4 Vesta, the three largest asteroids.
