Profile

Orbital Elements The following improved orbital elements by Kenji Muraoka, are from 130 observations 1965 to 1998, including 9 Planets, Moon and 5 minor planets perturbations and non-gravitational effect of style II. The mean residual is +/- 1.00 arc seconds. Epoch = 1998 Apr. 17.0 TT JDT = 2450920.5 T = 1998 Apr. 19.05196 +/- 0.00047 (m.e.)
