Orbital Elements The following improved orbital elements by Kenji Muraoka, are from 427 observations 1946 to 1998, including 9 Planets, Moon and 5 minor planets perturbations and non-gravitational effect of style II. The mean residual is +/- 1.01 arc seconds. Epoch = 1999 Sept. 19.0 TT JDT = 2451440.5 T = 1999 Sept. 8.42129 +/- 0.00013 (m.e.)
