	Component C:
        m1 = 7.5 + 5 log d + 18.0 log r

	Component B:
        m1 = 12.5 + 5 log d + 18.0 log r

	Component E:
        m1 = 17 + 5 log d + 190 log r(t + 60)

The orbital elements of component C are calculated by Kenji Muraoka.
The orbital elements of component B and E are calculated using the Minor Planet & Comet Ephemeris Service.
The charts are made with StellaNavigator Ver.2.0 for Windows (AstroArts / ASCII).
The magnitudes graphs are made with Comet for Windows.
