Profile

Orbital Elements The following improved orbital elements by Kenji Muraoka, are from 179 observations 1990 to 2001, including 9 Planets, Moon and 5 minor planets perturbations and non-gravitational effect of style II. The mean residual is +/- 0.85 arc seconds. Epoch = 2001 Apr. 1.0 TT JDT = 2452000.5 T = 2001 Mar. 29.92677 +/- 0.00022 (m.e.) TT Peri. = 326.13195 +/- 0.00039 Node = 89.08169 +/- 0.00033 (2000.0) Incl. = 4.25559 +/- 0.00001 q = 0.5284108 +/- 0.0000005 AU e = 0.8250781 +/- 0.0000001 a = 3.0208383 +/- 0.0000013 AU n = 0.18772100 +/- 0.00000012 P = 5.250 +/- 0.0000034 years A1 = +0.299 +/- 0.025 A2 = -0.05531 +/- 0.00005

Finding Charts

Magnitudes Graph m1 = 16.0 + 5 log d + 30.0 log r [ ,0] ( - 2001 Mar. 29) m1 = 12.0 + 5 log d + 15.0 log r [0, ] (2001 Mar. 29 - )

The orbital elements are calculated by Kenji Muraoka. The charts are made with StellaNavigator Ver.2.0 for Windows (AstroArts / ASCII). The magnitudes graphs are made with Comet for Windows.
