Orbital Elements The following improved orbital elements by Kenji Muraoka, are from 360 observations 1990 Nov. 11 to 1999 Apr. 15, including 9 Planets Moon and 5 minor planets perturbations and non-gravitational effect of style II. The mean residual is +/- 0.87 arc seconds. Epoch = 1997 Dec. 18.0 TT JDT = 2450800.5 T = 1997 Dec. 12.27163 +/- 0.00318 (m.e.) TT Peri. = 355.37636 +/- 0.00139 Node = 108.85859 +/- 0.00003 (2000.0) Incl. = 20.54699 +/- 0.00003 q = 1.9478423 +/- 0.0000022 AU e = 0.4659871 +/- 0.0000027 a = 3.6475567 +/- 0.0000052 AU n = 0.14148194 +/- 0.00000030 P = 6.966 +/- 0.0000148 years A1 = +2.238 +/- 0.268 A2 = +0.60905 +/- 0.05127

Magnitudes Graph m1 = 8.5 + 5 log d + 30 log r [ ,-70] ( - 1997 Oct. 3) m1 = 40.8 + 5 log d - 78.5 log r(t + 100) [-40, 75] (1997 Oct. 3 - 1998 Feb. 25) m1 = 4.8 + 5 log d + 20.0 log r [ 75, ] (1998 Feb. 25 - ) * Gray curve is: m1 = 8.5 + 5 log d + 30 log r

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.
