About Barycentric Time Scales
TDB (Barycentric Dynamical Time): Used for solar system ephemerides. Differs from TT by periodic terms due to Earth's motion.
TCB (Barycentric Coordinate Time): The coordinate time in a reference frame at the solar system barycenter. Runs faster than TT due to gravitational time dilation.
TCG (Geocentric Coordinate Time): The coordinate time for a reference frame at Earth's center. Used for geocentric ephemerides.
